Internal Audit Services WeiserMazars. Exactly Right. As one of the nation’s leading accounting firms, WeiserMazars provides the resources, experience and global expertise to help you adapt in a dynamically changing business landscape.
Beyond playing the role of corporate watchdog, internal audit plays a critical role in organizations by adding value through commenting on the effectiveness and efficiency of business processes and controls, information technology, and strategic initiatives. Outsourcing and co-sourcing of this function are emerging trends as more and more companies find it increasingly difficult to sustain the investment necessary to maintain a highly, sophisticated function of this kind. Evolving from a historically focused reactive model, internal audit in leading edge companies is adding increased value through a more proactive approach. This involves understanding business operations and working with management to address key business risks before they become overwhelming issues. It also requires an open line of communication with management and developing processes to monitor key business issues on an ongoing rather than a point in time reactive basis. At WeiserMazars, internal audit and controls are among our core competencies. They are skill sets that we invest heavily in and continue to refine every day. We take a riskbased approach to internal audit that helps clients improve performance and operational efficiency as well as the more traditional internal audit role of ensuring compliance with policies, procedures, and leading practices.
