Our Methodology
Our Internal Audit Methodology
Our audit methodology is built on internationally recognized standards and is carefully adapted to meet the specific regulatory and operational requirements of the jurisdictions in which we operate. We follow a structured, four-phase approach designed to deliver comprehensive, value-driven audit outcomes:
Risk Assessment
We begin by identifying and evaluating key risk areas through a combination of data analysis, stakeholder interviews, and a review of existing controls. This helps us prioritize areas with the greatest potential impact on compliance and operational integrity.
Planning
Based on the risk profile, we develop a detailed audit plan that outlines the objectives, scope, methodology, and resource allocation. Our planning process ensures alignment with client expectations, regulatory requirements, and best practices.
Execution
During this phase, we perform fieldwork using a combination of interviews, document reviews, sampling techniques, and data testing. Our focus is on collecting reliable evidence, identifying control weaknesses, and assessing process effectiveness, particularly in critical areas such as:
- Customer onboarding
- Corporate Governance
- Compliance with Company Laws and Regulatory Obligations, including Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Controls
Reporting
We conclude with a clear, actionable audit report that highlights key findings, assesses the root causes of deficiencies, and provides practical recommendations. Our goal is to support both regulatory compliance and continuous operational improvement, adding strategic value beyond mere assurance.
