Internal Audit and Financial Controls
We work with audit executives, management and audit committees at companies of virtually any size, public or private, to assist them with their internal audit activities. This can include starting and running the activity for them on a fully outsourced basis or working with an existing internal audit function to supplement their team when they lack adequate staff or skills. Protiviti professionals have assisted hundreds of companies in establishing first-year Sarbanes-Oxley compliance programs as well as ongoing compliance. We help organizations transition to a process-based approach for financial control compliance, identifying effective ways to appropriately reduce effort through better risk assessment, scoping and use of technology, thus reducing the cost of compliance. Reporting directly to the board, audit committee or management, as desired, we have completed hundreds of discrete, focused financial and internal control reviews and control investigations, either as part of a formal internal audit activity or apart from it.
