Description
Auditing is by far the most important process in maintaining and evaluating an organization’s finances, internal controls, and transparency. Maintaining these parameters will help the organization achieve business objectives, prevent fraud and misappropriation of assets, monitor compliance with company and government policy and help assure customers, shareholders, and investors.
The process of auditing is complex and organizations seek qualified professionals who can perform internal and external audits.
