A good internal audit does more than tick boxes — it finds where money leaks, where controls are weak, and where processes slow the business down, then tells you exactly what to fix. It is both a governance requirement under Section 138 for many companies and a genuine driver of performance.

Frequently asked questions
An independent, objective review of internal controls, processes, risk management and governance. Unlike a statutory audit focused on the financial statements, internal audit aims to improve operations, strengthen controls and help management manage risk.
Under Section 138 of the Companies Act, it is mandatory for prescribed classes of companies based on turnover, paid-up capital, borrowings and deposits. Many other businesses adopt it voluntarily for better control.
It focuses effort where it matters most — the highest-risk processes and areas. We assess the risk landscape, prioritise audit areas, and test the key controls that mitigate those risks.
Depending on scope: procurement, sales and receivables, inventory, payroll, fixed assets, cash and banking, statutory compliance, IT controls and more — reviewing process design, testing controls and identifying gaps and inefficiencies.
A statutory audit gives an opinion on whether financial statements are true and fair and is required by law. Internal audit is broader and forward-looking — improving controls, processes and risk management year-round, reporting to management or the audit committee.
Usually periodically — monthly, quarterly or per an annual plan — with coverage rotating across areas. We design a practical calendar based on your size, risk profile and statutory requirements.
