Excellence through Internal Audit Sourcing Services
In a competitive economy, particularly during an economic slowdown when cost, efficiency and flexibility are paramount, companies are increasingly sourcing functions outside their core competencies. This is a way of reducing costs, freeing up capital, achieving greater flexibility to respond to rapidly changing business conditions and enhancing their ability to focus on core business.
As a critical business unit and function perceived by many to be a cost centre, internal audit has become a prime candidate for third party sourcing – either the entire function or key elements of it.
There are untapped benefits internal audit sourcing could bring to your organization. This is underpinned by leveraging a strong relationship with a strategic partner to realise these benefits.
