An internal audit is the process of objectively evaluating your business’s internal operations and is ultimately designed to help you achieve your objectives and add value to your company.
An internal audit provides independent assurance that a business’s risk management, internal controls and governance processes are all aligned and operating effectively.
Internal audits also ensure your operations are complying with laws and regulations and help to detect breakdowns in internal controls – identifying and addressing weaknesses within your company.
Here at Smith Cooper, we understand that for your business to succeed, you are going to have to take risks. However, how well these risks are controlled will determine your scope of achievement.

They have our whole-business interests at heart.
