The Evolving Role of Internal Audit in Growing Companies

Without any doubts, today’s organizations face a global economic crisis of historical proportions. In response to that, management, board of directors and leaders throughout the organization are taking fresh look at virtually all aspects of the business to assess how to enhance productivity, processes and systems, yet still stay “in control.” They are starting, and very likely will continue, to think and respond differently as they determine how to operate their businesses successfully and maintain plans for long-term growth in today’s unique business environment.

As the mandate and role of internal audit continue to evolve, managements are increasingly counting on internal audit functions in their efforts for managing fraud risks and keeping organisations protected. Increasingly, the internal audit function is not to monitor and detect but also to investigate fraud incidences when they arise. The role of internal audit in fraud risk management by way of preventing, detecting and investigating fraud has amplified as a result of economic uncertainty and increased focus of certain organisation’s management on fraud risks.

Internal auditors traditionally look beyond financial risks and statements to consider wider issues such as the organisation’s reputation, growth, impact on the environment etc. The fundamental function of an internal audit team are Assurance, Assessment and Recommendations, Oversight, Advisory Services.

The changing role of Internal Audit

Internal auditing professionals not only must understand these challenges and their organization’s key objectives, but also ensure that amid the many organization wide changes taking place on almost a daily basis, key controls and processes are adequately addressing these changes and the new risks that emerge, and are functioning as intended. Internal audit plays a critical role in helping companies successfully “manage the change” by providing assurances that with every new process, procedure and initiative, any significant new risks that emerge are identified, monitored and managed effectively, so that the enterprise is protected on an on-going basis and to a level that satisfies management and the board.

An effective audit planning process that focuses on organisational strategic imperatives and key business risks will identify an appropriate blend of advisory and assurance reviews. The updating of the audit plan can no longer be an annual process. The audit plan must be refreshed regularly (e.g., quarterly) and with triggering events. Leading functions are developing a ‘3 + 9’ plan — a three month frozen window and nine month fluid plan. For those that do not, the risk of unpreparedness, of being too slow to react to the changing risk environment or market events is simply too great, leaving organisations perplexed to react to events, some of which include:

  • Transactions (mergers, acquisitions, carve-outs or divestiture)
  • New product launch or retirement
  • New market entry
  • Patent expiry
  • Litigation

Mandate for Internal Audit

    • Strategic and valued advisor:The Internal Audit function serves as a subject-matter resource to business management around strategic initiatives, challenges and changes in the organisation. The function has the people, knowledge and experiences to effectively provide this level of service.
    • Business insight: In addition to covering the ‘basics,’ the Internal Audit function is designed to provide high-quality, relevant business insight as an integral part of its activities. Business insight is not a by-product, but an explicit outcome from the function’s activities.
    • Control and compliance monitoring structure:Internal Audit functions should be focused on evaluating the design and the effectiveness of internal controls in the areas outlined, in their charter or mandate. This also includes focusing on compliance with key regulations and policies.

Also, internal audit must think expansively when seeking ways to add value to the organization. Too often, we find internal audit functions stop short of making recommendations that could create value for the organization for fear of overstepping their place. However, “consulting” is part of the Institute of Internal Auditors’ definition of internal auditing, and we believe that appropriately empowering this function provides management with greater opportunities to create value without compromising independence.

At Gapeseed Consulting we work with your organization, virtually of any size to assist you with your internal audit activities. We believe the Internal Audits are now required to find different ways to increase shareholder value and increase the attractiveness of the company to investors, senior executives, especially the risk officers and advisors on board.

Internal Audits are required for all set of businesses which are emerging as progressive business units, our Internal auditors partner and build relationships with the client business in order to keep a finger on the pulse of the organization and thereby act as your growth partners.

Why do you need a bookkeeper?

You may have discovered that by owning your own business you spend hours upon hours trying to keep track of the accounting paper trail instead of doing what you enjoy. Wouldn’t you rather use your strengths and skill set to build your business rather than having to worry about accounting issues?

 

Outsourcing bookkeeping helps you answer the following questions:

• Who owes me?
• Who do I owe?
• Did I make enough money this month?
• When was that financial statement due anyway?
• Am I meeting my filing deadlines?
• How do I accurately process payroll?
• What about taxes (sales, property, income)?
• Am I keeping up with corporate record compliance?

 

These questions reveal the fact that there is a lot more to keeping a proper set of books than just knowing how to write a check.

Outsourcing your company’s bookkeeping to a certified bookkeeper can save you staffing overhead, operating costs, and management time, freeing up essential capital and increasing your capabilities so you can run your business more efficiently. The misconception is that by outsourcing bookkeeping the owner might lose control but with the right system in place the management decisions remain under the control of the Owner.

 

Tax Advantages of Book Keeping:

Tax preparation is a key reason to maintain a detailed set of books, but there are other factors at play. A company’s books are used to determine the amount of taxes the company must pay. They are also used in preparing tax returns.

Sometimes, a tax agency may decide to investigate the information reported on a tax return or other type of tax-related document. In such cases, business owners are required to present accurate records for the tax agency’s inspection.

 

Why Small Businesses in India Should Outsource Accounting Services?

Start-ups and small companies face the dual challenge of growing their business and controlling costs. Once considered to be done by large corporations, outsourcing a non-core function such as accounting and bookkeeping is now being done extensively by many small businesses. Not only is accounting time consuming, it is also more and more of a specialty trade. Professional service providers know the rules and can keep you out of trouble. They are highly efficient because they do this work on every day basis.

Reasons to Outsource Accounting Services –


  • 1) Improved work efficiency    Bookkeeping and accounting are effort taking activities. You not only need to put in long hours but also have to ensure accuracy. Hiring an in-house business accountant involves additional cost of keeping a full-time employee and chances are that he may not be specialized with every aspect of accounting and taxation. Outsourcing gives you an edge. You get benefits of domain expertise and advanced accounting software, assuring productivity and accuracy.
  • 2) A cost-effective solutionAs discussed in the above point, keeping a full-time in-house accountant involves cost of paying him year round. While accounting and bookkeeping is more ‘seasonal’ in nature. Accounting outsourcing companies offer customized solutions and charge fee only for the services availed. Hiring an in-house employee means you will pay out a monthly salary regardless of the amount of work he has completed. With outsourcing, you only pay for the work done.
  • 3) Access to domain expertise and advanced systemsOutsourcing your finance and accounts activities means you have expertise and advanced bookkeeping and accounting systems on your side. On the other hand, if you hire an in-house team, you will have to arrange and pay for training and new software, in addition to monthly salaries. Small businesses are usually not in a position to pay for highly expensive accounting software. Outsource accounting services let you have the benefit of such tools and the expert knowledge of industry professionals.
  • 4) Enhanced business operationsAmong several things to consider, outsource accounting services can help a company get a better handle on its pay-to-procure process. Powerful analytic lead to a better understanding of spending through the entire supply chain, and help control budgets and standardize procedures throughout the company.
  • 5) Facilitates business productivityFor being successful a business must have an eye on tomorrow and readiness to accept and implement change with strategic planning. Engaging outsource accounting services can increase company revenue by cutting down costs and by providing owners with flexibility to devote their time and effort on more important revenue generating functions.

With a certified bookkeeper on your side, Gapeseed helps your businesses to become more profitable, more efficient, and more competitive.
