Internal audit is a dynamic profession that helps organisations achieve their objectives. It concerns evaluating and improving the effectiveness of risk management, control, and governance processes within an organisation.
BHT Partners Audit works with management to systematically review systems and operations. These reviews (audits) aim to identify how well risks are managed, including whether the right processes are in place and whether agreed procedures are being adhered to. Audits can also identify areas where efficiencies or innovations might be made. Internal audits are organised within an ongoing program of review and advisory activity, based on an organisation’s strategic needs.
In our role, BHT Partners Audit works across all areas of an organisation. In addition to core areas of financial control and IT, we review the tangible aspects of operations, such as an organisation’s supply chain or IT systems, as well as more intangible aspects such as organisational culture and ethics. In fact, any system that has an impact on the effective operation of an organisation may be included in an internal audit’s scope.
Internal audit reports are presented to the board (via the audit committee) because they provide an independent perspective on an organisation’s readiness for success and advice on areas for improvement.
BHT Partners Audit can work in all sectors — public, private and not-for-profit — delivering tailored internal audit programs that align with your organisation’s objectives, regulatory requirements, and risk appetite.
