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.
What does an Internal Audit engagement involve?
An Internal Audit engagement typically involves planning and scoping, risk assessment, process and control review, testing where applicable, findings, management discussion, recommendations, and reporting.
Why should a company conduct a Risk Assessment?
A risk assessment helps leadership understand the risks that could affect business objectives and prioritize resources toward the areas that require the greatest attention.
What is SOX Advisory?
SOX Advisory helps organizations evaluate and strengthen controls relevant to financial reporting and support their compliance efforts under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, where applicable.
What are Internal Controls?
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.
Why are Governance Reviews important?
Governance reviews help organizations evaluate whether responsibilities, oversight, accountability, reporting, and decision-making structures are functioning effectively.
Can Zeta Assurance perform an independent Internal Audit?
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.
Can Internal Audit and SOX Advisory be performed together?
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.
What happens after a Risk Assessment?
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.
How often should Internal Controls be reviewed?
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.
