Internal Audit services

Internal auditing is an objective assurance and consulting activity designed to add value and improve an organization's operations. It can help an organization accomplish its strategic objectives by bringing a systematic, disciplined approach to evaluating and improving the effectiveness of risk management, control, and governance processes. Deloitte member firms’ Internal Audit services help boards and senior executives better manage enterprise risks. Deloitte professionals help organizations enhance the effectiveness, quality, and value received from internal audit (IA). Deloitte’s broad understanding of risks and areas of operational improvement — particularly the nuances of specific industry sectors and markets — can help internal audit functions improve their performance and operating efficiency and bring value to their organizations.
