Internal audits are a valuable risk mitigation strategy. They provide assurance that your organisation’s frameworks, policies, practices and processes are effective, and actively seek out gaps and areas for improvement. This makes it possible to identify and eliminate barriers to success and optimise operational efficiency for greater productivity and cost savings.

The audit process generally includes these stages:

  1. Information gathering
  2. Analyses and risk assessmentInternal audit
  3. Regulatory compliance review
  4. Validation of findings
  5. Recommendations for improvement
  6. Implementation of improvement initiatives
  7. Follow up and review
