Services - Audit & Assurance

Internal Audits :

Internal auditing is an independent, objective assurance and consulting activity designed to add value and improve an organization's operations. It helps an organization accomplish its objectives by bringing a systematic, disciplined approach to evaluate and improve the effectiveness of risk management, control, and governance processes- IIA's definition of audit.

We provide varying levels of internal audit services to fit specific needs of our clients. This include auditing certain areas of your internal audit program when the current internal audit staff are working on “special projects” or they need to “catch up” in order to keep current with the annual internal audit schedule.

Providing audit staff on an “as needed” basis.
We assist in this area when client’s need additional staff to assist with the internal audit program but are not in a position or there is not a need to hire a full-time auditor.

Consultation and evaluation of the internal audit process.
This is an area of opportunity to add value to the internal audit process. We consult with your organization’s internal auditor regarding their annual internal audit risk assessment, internal audit work programs, and annual audit schedule. We provide feedback related to risk assessment and scope of procedures performed with the objective of helping maintain and improve the efficiencies of the internal audit department

Data Analytics :

Data analytics (DA) is the science of examining raw data with the purpose of drawing conclusions about that information. Data analytics is distinguished from data mining by the scope, purpose and focus of the analysis. Data miners sort through huge data sets using sophisticated software to identify undiscovered patterns and establish hidden relationships. Data analytics focuses on inference, the process of deriving a conclusion based solely on what is already known by the researcher.

We provide our client with our team of skilled data analysts, assisting them to draw conclusions from their raw data by way of providing them with the derived useful information.

Review & Mapping :

Process review and mapping is defined as an illustrated description of how things get done, which enables participants to visualize an entire process and identify areas of strength and weaknesses. It helps reduce cycle time and defects while recognizing the value of individual contributions

Process mapping is a workflow diagram to bring forth a clearer understanding of a process or series of parallel processes

We provide our client with our team of skilled, qualified and experienced business analysts to provide detailed business process review and mapping.

Compliance Audits :

• Accounting Standard Compliances

Investigations :

In recent years, incidents of fraud have become more frequent, more complex and more costly. Fraud is a deliberate and calculated crime that can be perpetrated by someone miles away from the victim or by an insider with intimate knowledge of company operations. The globalization of trade and the increasing role of technology in business make combating fraud even more challenging.

When a company is the victim of fraud, thoroughly understanding how and by whom it was victimized is essential in order to recover the loss and/or prevent fraudulent activity from occurring again.

We help companies find ways to manage risk, investigate alleged misconduct, and measure the financial implications of disputes

We investigate unusual financial activity, perform electronic evidence discovery, and review financial reports — all with the sensitivity and urgency you require. And we provide expert witness testimony as necessary to explain our findings.

Benchmarking :

Benchmarking is the process of comparing the business processes and performance metrics including cost, cycle time, productivity, or quality to another that is widely considered to be an industry standard benchmark or best practice. Essentially, benchmarking provides a snapshot of the performance of your business and helps you understand where you are in relation to a particular standard.

Also referred to as "best practice benchmarking" or "process benchmarking", it is a process used in management and particularly strategic management, in which organizations evaluate various aspects of their processes in relation to best practice companies' processes, usually within a peer group defined for the purposes of comparison.
