Internal Audit Services
Services
If you already have an internal audit function, do you consider it is adding real value to your organisation?
Do you receive robust independent reporting at your Board that confirms your internal controls are appropriately designed and implemented effectively so mitigating your key business risks? If not, have you considered the need to establish an internal audit function?
Internal audit has always been one of the cornerstones of corporate governance. Recent events have increased its profile as Boards have become more aware of the importance of understanding risk and regulators are demanding improved control to protect customers.
Unlike external auditors, internal audit looks beyond financial risks and statements. Its focus is on the wider issues that help businesses mitigate the risks to which they are exposed as they seek to achieve their business objectives. This means the strategic value of internal audit is greater than it has ever been.
At Grant Thornton we combine our industry knowledge with our risk-based internal audit methodology and tailor our internal audit offering to your size, sector, risk appetite and regulatory requirements. This enables us to offer you a fully outsourced or co-sourced internal audit service that is right for your needs.

- Co-sourcing with the existing internal audit function
- Provision of specialist internal audit services e.g. IT, treasury
