Questions management teams ask about internal audit

What does an internal audit review cover?

Internal audit can review governance, risk management and controls across finance, operations, compliance, technology or another defined process. The scope is selected according to business priorities and material exposure.

How is internal audit different from external audit?

External audit provides an independent opinion on financial statements for an agreed reporting purpose. Internal audit evaluates processes, controls and risk management to support management or board oversight.

Can you review one process rather than the whole company?

Yes. A focused review can cover one process, location, entity or risk area. The proposal defines the boundaries, criteria, testing approach and deliverables.

What will management receive at the end?

Typical outputs include an executive summary, evidence-based findings, risk ratings, agreed management responses, responsible owners and target dates. Follow-up can be scoped separately or included.

How much disruption should our team expect?

Requests and interviews are planned with process owners in advance. Efficient data access and a clear contact person reduce disruption, but sufficient evidence and management availability are still required.

Can RT support a co-sourced internal audit function?

Yes. Support can be structured as a specific assignment, a recurring risk-based programme or co-sourced capacity alongside an existing internal audit or compliance team.
