FAQ

Frequently Asked Question

What is Audit & Risk Advisory?

Audit & Risk Advisory services help organizations independently evaluate their risks, controls, processes, and governance practices and identify opportunities to strengthen their overall control environment.

An Internal Audit engagement typically involves planning and scoping, risk assessment, process and control review, testing where applicable, findings, management discussion, recommendations, and reporting.

A risk assessment helps leadership understand the risks that could affect business objectives and prioritize resources toward the areas that require the greatest attention.

SOX Advisory helps organizations evaluate and strengthen controls relevant to financial reporting and support their compliance efforts under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, where applicable.

Internal controls are policies, procedures, processes, and activities designed to help organizations manage risks, support reliable reporting, safeguard assets, improve operations, and meet applicable requirements.

Governance reviews help organizations evaluate whether responsibilities, oversight, accountability, reporting, and decision-making structures are functioning effectively.

Zeta Assurance’s Audit & Risk Advisory practice is designed to provide objective evaluation and advisory support. The exact scope and nature of an engagement should be defined based on the organization’s requirements and applicable independence considerations.

They can be related, but the appropriate structure depends on the organization’s requirements, scope, and independence considerations. We recommend defining the engagement structure carefully before work begins.

The findings can be translated into prioritized risks, recommended actions, control improvements, and a remediation roadmap. Where appropriate, Zeta Assurance can provide ongoing advisory support.

The appropriate frequency depends on the organization’s size, complexity, risk profile, regulatory environment, and changes in business operations. Periodic reviews can help management maintain visibility into the effectiveness of key controls.

Yes. Depending on the engagement, ongoing advisory can include periodic risk reviews, control assessments, remediation tracking, governance support, and management reporting.
