Business Guide to Set Up an Internal Audit System (CPD-accredited)



When do you know it’s time to set an internal audit function for your business? An internal audit group or a person is essential as soon as you start delegating key functions to other people such as finance, cash disbursements and receipts, procurement of inventories, maintenance, and even marketing. Someone has to review if the work is done right and complying with policies and procedures to ensure that no cheating, fraud or abuse is happening.  The Center for Global Best Practices is launching this special CPD-accredited program entitled, Best Practices on How to Set Up an Internal Audit System” on Thursday and Friday, May 19 & 20, 2016 at the EDSA Shangri-La Hotel, Mandaluyong City, Philippines.  For details and a complete list of seminars including Best Practices for Audit Committees, you may log on to www.cgbp.org or contact program leader Lara Magnait via email lara@cgbp.org; Manila landlines 842-7148/ 59 & 556-8968/ 69 or Cebu lines: (032) 512-3106/ 07; Baguio telephone: (074) 423-5148).

While external auditors plays a role in business, they rely only on the truthfulness of the financial statement provided to them.  It is the internal auditor who can police your operations to check if there are irregularities that are happening.  This provides you the need to have a well- functioning and effective internal audit system that can truly help you improve your risk management and cost control processes including monitoring and detecting fraud, provide recommendations for more sound corporate governance practices and very effective and efficient operations. This two-day special program is to help both for profit and non-profit organizations as well as private and public institutions in their capacity building to set up and maintain an internal audit department.  You can start with 1 person or a team of two to handle this function if you are a start-up or an SME, or a group handling that internal audit activity for bigger organizations.

She has helped several organizations to improve their internal audit functions and aligned those with existing ones to the current best practices in internal audit.  Many of her initiatives are focused on promoting internal audit as a way to strengthen the performance of many organizations.
