Why Choose Us?

Planning and Risk Assessment
Understanding the Organization: The audit team gains a comprehensive understanding of the business, operations, objectives, and risks.

Defining the Audit Scope: Based on this understanding, the audit scope is determined, specifying which business areas will be reviewed.

Risk Assessment Matrix: A risk assessment is performed for each process and sub- process, prioritizing high-risk areas based on likelihood and potential impact.

Risk-Based Audit Plan: A detailed, risk-based audit plan is developed, outlining objectives, methodology, timeline, and required resources.

Upon approval of the audit plan, fieldwork is conducted through various methods, including walkthroughs, inquiries, and questionnaires. The audit team ensures ongoing communication with clients, keeping them informed about the audit process and its progress.
After completing the execution phase, all findings are compiled into a draft report. Each observation is assigned a risk rating, with accountability designated to the relevant functions. The report is then presented to management or authorized personnel, highlighting key issues, concerns, and deviations that require attention.
Since internal auditing is an ongoing process, its scope extends beyond the submission of reports. A follow-up Action Taken Report (ATR) is provided to management, detailing the status of observations and their resolution. Any critical unresolved issues are escalated to ensure appropriate corrective actions are implemented.
