Internal audit services

We deliver fully outsourced services, providing all aspects of normal in-house functions, but with the additional benefits of an outsourced service, including:

  • dedicated but flexible resource;
  • a breadth of specialists rarely available in an in-house function;
  • cost effective services able to cope with changing risks; and 
  • following best practice using current methodologies, tools and intellectual capital.

We work alongside existing internal groups such as the audit committee and other risk management functions to effectively meet your assurance needs.

We deliver solutions to meet your specific needs including:

  • the provision of financial services experienced staff to assist with audit plan execution or specific risk coverage; and 
  • training, benchmarking, methodology development and audit plan assessment.

Specialist reviews including:

  • derivatives and structured products across all asset classes;
  • Sarbanes-Oxley;
  • management information systems;
  • corporate governance/supervisory controls;
  • functional areas (treasury, financial and product control, credit and market risk management, legal and compliance, human resources etc.);
  • business continuity planning;
  • regulatory compliance (regulatory reporting/capital adequacy etc.);
  • external quality assurance reviews of in-house internal audit functions; and
  • pre and post implementation project reviews e.g. a major system implementation, new business lines or products.

Where issues cannot be resolved they can lead to disputes. Regardless of the actual financial cost such disputes invariably tie up scarce resources, distract management and can cause concern amongst shareholders and other stakeholders. Our forensic and investigation services team can help with litigation, asset recovery, insurance claims and any other complex financial disputes.
