Frequently Asked Questions

What is an internal audit?

An internal audit is a thorough evaluation of a business’s internal controls, risk management strategies, and operational processes. Its main objective is to ensure that your business is operating efficiently, managing risks effectively, and complying with applicable regulations and internal policies. Through this process, companies can strengthen their overall governance and performance.

While an internal audit focuses on assessing and improving a company’s internal operations, controls, and risk management systems, an external audit is conducted by independent auditors. The external audit’s purpose is to verify the accuracy and fairness of financial statements and ensure compliance with external accounting standards and legal requirements. Internal audits are more about internal improvements, whereas external audits are aimed at providing assurance to external stakeholders.

Internal audits offer several important benefits for businesses. They help enhance operational efficiency, fortify internal controls, minimize risks, and ensure compliance with laws and regulations. In addition to safeguarding assets, internal audits provide valuable insights into areas where business practices and processes can be improved for better performance and sustainability.

The frequency of internal audits depends largely on the size, complexity, and risk profile of a business. Many organizations choose to conduct internal audits on an annual basis, but businesses with higher risk exposure or dynamic operational environments may opt for semi-annual or even quarterly audits to stay ahead of potential issues.

Internal audits play a vital role in fraud prevention. By systematically evaluating internal controls and processes, audits help identify weaknesses that could be exploited for fraudulent activities. With regular internal audits, businesses can detect warning signs early and implement stronger controls to protect their assets and maintain financial integrity.
