IT Audit & Internal Audit
There are many organizations that believe that their systems are safe and that staff are following the procedures that management has set out for them. Unfortunately, this is not often the case and management does not realize that things are not quite as they seemed until something goes wrong. By then it is too late and the damage has been done.
We can assist you in identifying control gaps in your systems and procedures by reviewing them and comparing them with best practice so that the risks of something potentially going wrong is mitigated. We can carry out a specific audit of only your IT systems and/or your operational procedures as a one off assignment.
Further, we can be engaged to develop and implement an Internal Audit plan which would ensure that your organization is constantly being assessed for new risks and in a position to implement the necessary controls in a timely manner to mitigate such risks.
We have derived a risk-based Internal Audit approach that focuses on our clients’ objectives and impediments to achieving those objectives.
What is internal Audit
“An independent, objective assurance and consulting activity designed to add value and improve an organization’s operations. It helps an organization accomplish its objectives by bringing a systematic, disciplined approach to evaluate and improve the effectiveness of risk management, control and governance processes”.
-- 'Internal Audit' redefined by the Institute of Internal Auditors of the USA (IIA) in 1999
