Internal Audit

An internal audit is an independent, objective evaluation of a company’s internal controls, processes, and systems. It helps identify inefficiencies, risks, and areas of non-compliance within the organization. Unlike external audits, which focus on financial reporting, internal audits encompass a broader scope, including operational efficiency, risk management, and governance.

An effective internal audit is vital for ensuring that your business’s operations, risk management, and internal controls are functioning as intended. At Astute Business Advisors, we offer comprehensive internal audit services designed to help you enhance operational efficiency, safeguard assets, and ensure compliance with regulatory requirements.
