Why Internal Audit Matters
In order to run your business, you develop processes to manage the factors that drive performance and help control internal and external risks that could prevent you from meeting your objectives. We focus on those processes where significant risks have been identified and discuss with management its perception of how these risks are controlled. This phase of our work enables us to obtain information on the processes supporting the achievement of the company's goals.
