Internal audit in Dubai
As a business grows, informal controls can struggle to keep pace. Our internal audit approach looks at how key processes operate in practice, who owns them and how exceptions are handled. Findings are translated into practical actions that management can prioritise, assign and follow through.
What your engagement can cover
Risk assessment and audit planning
Process and control reviews
Operational compliance testing
Findings and remediation tracking
Built around your circumstances.
Internal audit can focus on a single process or a wider programme. Procurement, revenue, payments and inventory may carry different risks across your business. We agree the areas to review with management and establish how findings will be reported to the appropriate stakeholders.
A useful starting point
Your exact information requirements will be confirmed during scoping. The following records can help frame the initial discussion.
- Process maps and policies
- Approval matrices and access lists
- Transaction samples and exception reports
- Previous findings and action plans
Questions, answered.
Does internal audit replace external audit?
No. Internal audit and external financial statement audit serve different purposes. An internal audit engagement focuses on the agreed processes, risks and controls.
Will recommendations fit our business size?
Recommendations should reflect the scale of the business, the risks identified and the people available to operate the controls. Priorities are discussed with management.
