ROLE OVERVIEW

What Internal Auditors Do for Finance and Audit Teams

Internal auditors test controls, document findings, and evaluate whether financial processes function as designed. Their work gives the Head of Internal Audit and CFO the findings and evidence needed to prioritize remediation and report control performance to executive stakeholders.

Execute Walkthroughs Across Control Areas

Walkthroughs trace transactions through processes and confirm controls operate as designed. Internal auditors deliver documented evidence of control effectiveness across each area under review.

Test Controls Against Audit Plan Objectives

Each control is tested against predefined objectives and recorded as passed, failed, or requiring remediation. This keeps the audit plan on track and ties every finding directly to a control risk area.

Document Findings With Risk Ratings

Findings reports include root cause analysis, risk ratings, and remediation recommendations. The Head of Internal Audit and CFO use these to prioritize control gaps and communicate weaknesses to audit committees.

Assess Control Design and Operating Effectiveness

Internal auditors assess whether controls are designed to prevent or detect risk and operate consistently in practice. This tells the Head of Internal Audit whether the gap requires a redesign or better application by control owners.

Track Remediation Progress Across Audit Cycles

Previously identified control gaps are monitored for resolution and documented with current remediation status. This gives the Head of Internal Audit an accurate view of control performance across consecutive audit cycles.

WHEN TO OUTSOURCE

When Is It Time to Outsource Your Internal Audit Function?

Global workforce across 150 countries with finance, tech, sales, and support teams
Internal auditors run control testing, walkthroughs, and findings documentation. When these are not kept up, control gaps build and audit cycles stall. An outsourced internal auditor fills that gap without adding headcount.

Control Testing Is Falling Behind Schedule

Audit cycles slip as control testing is deprioritized due to limited internal capacity. Findings are delayed and control gaps go undetected. Outsourcing keeps control testing on schedule and aligned to your audit plan.

Inconsistent Findings Documentation

Control testing takes place but findings are recorded inconsistently, leaving remediation tracking and control reporting unreliable. Outsourced internal auditors maintain documentation standards across each audit cycle.

Audit Coverage Does Not Match Risk Areas

Testing gravitates to familiar areas while controls with more risk go unreviewed. When the audit plan no longer reflects where risk sits, outsourcing brings coverage back into alignment with control priorities.

Control Gaps Are Identified Too Late

Issues surface during external audits rather than through internal testing, leaving the business exposed. Outsourced internal auditors keep control testing proactive and findings documented before external review.
