Operations and Compliance Internal Audit
Challenges for Operations and Compliance Internal Audit
One of the main challenges faced in the practice of internal auditing is the inability to undertake an efficient and integral review of the entity, which requires covering aspects of corporate governance, regulatory compliance, operating processes, internal controls, information technology, and, in some cases, special assignments. The difficulty of such an undertaking lies in the limited time available to be assigned to such activities, as well as limited human and financial resources.
Another significant challenge is that there are currently entities that exist without any independent supervisory body that monitors their operations, a situation that can create uncertainty for the Board of Directors with respect to the performance of those responsible for managing the company.
