Think of an internal audit as your company’s health check-up, conducted by experts who ensure everything in your financial operations works like a well-oiled machine—efficiently, effectively and in line with best practices. This includes:
- Planning and timing of internal audits
- Gathering information, documentation and evidence to support analysis

Internal auditors are professionals who provide independent and objective assurance and consulting services designed to dig deep into your internal processes, governance, controls and risks, ensuring everything is compliant and efficient.
Assurance in accounting is the process of improving the accuracy and reliability of financial information that’s used by stakeholders and decision makers. This is done by assessing the procedures, data and systems around financial reporting to identify risks, standards and other elements. Assurance services are often conducted by certified public accountants (CPAs).
