Internal Audit services
‘You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can be used against you (...)'
For the internal auditor, though, an opinion not expressed can also be used against you. - Sam Huibers
The importance of a partner for Internal Audit
In many organisations Internal Audit is instrumental for evaluating corporate governance, risk management & compliance. However, Internal Audit departments regularly need to deal with bottlenecks in their services, for example:
-
A lack of specific expertise
After all, it is not economical for most organisations to permanently employ a highly trained specialist for all types of expertise;
-
Drop out of own staff
Personnel may pursue other career opportunities or be temporarily absent;
-
Fluctuations in workload
Due to external events, unforeseen audit requests and projects the workload of Internal Audit is not always predictable and often comes in peaks.

You can quickly respond to new audit requests from your organisation and to changes relating to your staff. ITegrity is a reliable partner and specialist in Internal Audit services.
