An effective and smooth-running internal audit is imperative for large corporate and public sector organizations. It helps to pinpoint and manage risks and evaluates the effectiveness of a company’s internal systems, governance, and accounting processes. 

However, it is not always possible for an organization to keep its own internal audit department sufficiently staffed or up to date with the relevant skills or experience to consistently deliver a value-added service. In some cases, the decision is taken to outsource this service in full while other businesses look to have specialist external providers to supplement and assist their own resources. 

An outsourced internal audit gives you access to a full team of specialists. This is where you can count on the outsourced internal audit services of RSM auditors.

How RSM’S Internal Auditing Works

Here is a step-by-step look at what to expect from an audit by RSM: 

On-site visits 

An internal audit performed by RSM begins with on-site visits at significant locations throughout the organization. Here, the auditors perform in-depth business diagnostics and assessments of operations, accounting policies and internal controls to assess opportunities and risks. 

Reporting to management 

Stakeholders expect the internal audit will provide assurance that their information technology systems used in the organization, and the processes supported by those systems, are functioning as intended. This exercise results in a report to management with suggestions for action. 

Suggestions for improvement 

The dialogue around this report with management forms the foundation of effective and harmonious integration of the internal audit team within the organization. Instead of finding faults, RSM auditors focus on suggesting improvements. 

Following this internal auditing process means that the findings and guidance provided by RSM can be implemented not only in the short term but for years to come. We take a holistic approach, embedding ourselves in your organization in order to identify areas of concern and provide accurate business assessments and diagnostics. So, by acting on the advice of our auditors, subsequent audits are likely to be smooth and straightforward.
