Director, Risk Advisory Services
For many organisations, outsourcing some or all of your internal audit is the most effective approach to achieving a high-performing internal audit function.
As an internal risk audit monitors the effectiveness of the internal control processes, it assists management with the identification of processes and procedures that pose a risk and require attention. Additionally, an internal risk audit helps to identify opportunities for improved efficiency and effectiveness and can also ensure compliance with statutory laws and regulations.
This enables businesses and organisations to compete more effectively in increasingly competitive markets in which barriers to entry have been lowered and tighter competition has ensued.
As part of BDO’s risk advisory services, our specialists provide internal risk audits for organisations across all industries and sectors to identify deficiencies in control and operational procedures, and to provide recommendations that help to improve procedural effectiveness.
