Internal Audit

PwC understands the key commercial, strategic, compliance and operational risks facing charities today. Key to successful performance are:

• clear and accountable governance structures, with transparent and professional financial control;
• well thought through risk taking; and
• strong control environments, supported by sound business processes and reporting.

We offer charities insight into their governance and risk issues, including effectiveness of existing structures and processes, so that Boards have confidence that objectives will be achieved.

Our internal audit approach is based on sound, risk-based coverage of financial and business systems, key risks, programmes and projects, governance and security structures. We use PwC specialists to rigorously assess process controls and to challenge management to continuously improve, based on best practice in the voluntary, public and private sectors.

The benefit of our approach is reliable audit opinions, commercial and practical advice and recommendations, and confidence that management are being properly held to account in its fiduciary stewardship of the charity.
