Internal controls have become the object of an increasingly demanding legislation – from the US Sarbanes Act, to the 4th, 7th and 8th European Directives, Solvency II, Basel II, Financial Security Law, and Japanese SOX. Compliance with these regulations can often be overwhelming, but it is essential to ensure a good Corporate Governance.
In order to go beyond the approval of these rules and to turn the control of risks into a value creation instrument, we offer our clients a bespoke service, applying methodologies that have been contrasted at international level, and offered by multidisciplinary teams comprising internal auditors, financial experts, internal control consultants and technological experts.
Corporate Governance and Internal Audit
A good Corporate Governance level ensures that the organization’s objectives are reaches with transparency towards shareholders, efficiency in operations, an internal control culture and, in general, an appropriate operation of Governance bodies and of the Board of Directors.
IT Audit
Your IT systems play an important part in supporting your business processes and administration. Because important financial information is also held in your IT systems it means they have to be audited as well. An IT (EDP) audit will make sure that this information is reliable and that any risks with these systems can be managed.
Risk Management and Internal Control
As you work on a more global scale and expand your operations you will outsource, relocate and work with subsidiaries. This means you need to adapt the way that you evaluate performance, shareholder profitability and improve transparency.
