Internal Audit Support
We are here to support your internal controls with internal auditing services that have a global approach. The need for corporations to monitor, detect and prevent suspicious activities is perhaps greater now than ever before. Strong internal controls are necessary to minimize fraudulent activity. Our team of CPA·s, CIA·s (Certified Internal Auditor), and CISA·s (Certified Information Systems Auditor) can help you establish and maintain these necessary controls. We also have internal audit support experience in the highly regulated financial and insurance industry.

1

Outsourcing/Co-Sourcing

Through periodic visits to your company, we will evaluate your internal control procedures and confirm compliance with internal control policies. In addition to providing recommendations to your existing system, we will act as managements' eyes and ears, and aggressively seek and investigate signs of fraud. The announcement itself of a third-party internal auditor will contribute to deterring fraud. The retention of an independent third-party internal auditor will also demonstrate management's commitment to corporate governance.

2

Consulting

In order to establish effective internal controls, it is necessary to fully understand the current system through interviews with all levels of people. We use a disciplined and systematic approach to help design a system which would be effective in creating an environment to minimize the risk of fraud and defalcations.

Internal Control Reports

With the implementation of Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) of 2002, U.S. public companies are expected to be held to a higher standard of corporate governance. Section 404 (Management Assessment of Internal Controls) specifically requires each annual report to contain an 'Internal control report', which shall:
(a) state the responsibility of management for establishing and maintaining an adequate internal control structure and procedures for financial reporting; and
(b) contain an assessment, as of the end of the issuer's fiscal year, of the effectiveness of the internal control structure and procedures of the issuer for financial reporting.
We can support you in either category.

Assistance of Internal Auditors From Abroad

When internal auditors abroad arrive, in addition to the language barrier many are unaware of local customs and practices. Our seasoned professionals of CIA's, CISA's can provide that vital link, especially as it relates to Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) Section 404.
