Internal Audit Outsourcing

Expansion of a company, business activities conducted in different locations, expansion of the organisational structure, an increasing number of transactions and their growing complexity are the elements contributing to the risk of error and abuse. Audit activities are also taken to identify inefficiencies, errors and unreliable management data. The internal audit department is usually the one to take responsibility for such auditing function.

Establishment of an internal audit department is a timeconsuming process that requires hiring qualified experts, setting up an action plan, and its maintenance needs constant financial outlays.
