As organisations face increasingly complex, interconnected and unprecedented risks, the role of Internal Audit in protecting the assets, reputation and sustainability of organisation has become ever more critical.

However, against this backdrop there is pressure on Internal Audit functions to achieve more, be more agile, be more collaborative, be more proactive (than reactive), and do so in a more efficient manner.

Our team of experienced internal auditors works with organisations to build, supplement and enhance their Internal Audit function. The range of supports and solutions we provide include:

• Outsourced internal audit function;
• Co-source support (supplementing your Internal Audit team by performing audits, or providing specialist input on audits);
• Advising on the development of a SOX or ICOFR framework, or supporting the execution of SOX / ICOFR testing;
• Supporting the development of ‘Integrated Assurance’ frameworks, maximising the benefits of the 2^nd and 3^rd lines of defence;
• External evaluations of Internal Audit functions, Operating Model redesign and quality assurance frameworks;
• Deployment of continuous auditing and monitoring programmes, and data analytics techniques.
• Advising on approaches to auditing emerging risk areas including cyber security, sustainability, 3^rd party risk management, capital adequacy, changing regulations, and pandemics (and other business disruptions).     

KPMG’s highly experienced and multidisciplinary Internal Audit team leverages expertise across the firm to provide clients with Subject Matter Experts who can assess and analyse complex risks and provide meaningful industry focused insights.
