Internal audits Independent and effective monitoring

Internal audits are an integral part of the big picture

Compliance, the internal control system and internal auditing are closely linked to good corporate governance. This is the right approach – after all, it comes down to understanding your company as a whole. If a company wants to implement this approach, it has to bring the individual building blocks to life. Internal auditing is a neutral oversight instrument within the organisation and an effective means of verifying the efficiency and compliance of processes.
