KPMG’s Internal Audit Risk & Compliance Services (IARCS) deploys multidisciplinary teams of professionals experienced in financial and operational internal auditing, IT, fraud analytics and risk assessment, shared services, finance management, treasury and financial instruments, and the supply chain to augment and enhance an organisations’ existing internal audit capabilities.

It works to make internal audit functions, enterprise risk management programs, and risk and controls management more efficient and effective.

Hot button issues for business leaders include a range of complex matters, including:

• IA strategic sourcing (right resources, right place, right time)
• enterprise risk management (structure, risk identification, monitoring, reporting, optimising)
• regulatory compliance (including SOX)
• contract compliance
• corporate governance
• global sustainability/climate change
• continuous auditing/monitoring
