Internal Audit provides independent assurance that an organization's risk management, governance, and internal control processes are operating effectively. Using the COSO Internal Control Framework and IIA Standards, internal audit identifies control gaps, assesses risk, and recommends improvements to protect organizational value.

Frequently asked questions
Why do information technology companies need Internal Audit?
Enterprise and government customers increasingly mandate ISO 27001 or SOC 2 as a procurement prerequisite. Internal Audit gives customers, regulators and auditors independent proof that your controls work.
How long does Internal Audit take for a information technology company?
It depends on size, scope and how mature your processes are. After a short gap assessment we set a fixed plan, then work through implementation, internal audit and the certification audit.
Which ISO certifications are most important for an Indian IT company?
ISO 27001 (information security) and ISO 9001 (quality management) are the most commonly required certifications for Indian IT firms bidding for enterprise or government contracts. Increasingly, ISO 42001 (AI management) and SOC 2 are also being requested by US and EU clients.
How long does ISO 27001 certification take for a mid-size IT company?
A typical mid-size IT company (50–500 employees) can achieve ISO 27001 certification in 4–6 months with dedicated support. Organizations with mature security controls can compress this timeline to 3 months.
What is the difference between internal audit and external audit?
External audit provides an opinion on financial statements for shareholders. Internal audit provides independent assurance to management and the board on the effectiveness of internal controls, risk management, and governance — covering operational, compliance, and financial areas.
Do you provide co-sourced or fully outsourced internal audit?
Both. We offer fully outsourced internal audit for organizations without an in-house function, and co-sourced arrangements where we supplement your existing team with specialized expertise.
