Internal audit is a critical function of a growing business that helps reduce risk in key business functions and uncovers opportunities to find hidden value in managing risk. But many middle market organizations find it challenging to build or sustain a high-performing internal audit function because of competition for top talent, the need for diverse skill sets as the risk landscape evolves, rising compensation and benefit costs, or other factors.

To close the gaps, RSM advisors specialize in upskilling your internal audit function and shifting your internal audit efforts from a reactive to a proactive approach. Our advisors work alongside the chief audit executive (CAE) to meet internal audit’s strategic objectives and help you extract increased value from that function. And we can help modernize your approach with recommendations for the tools and technology that make the most sense for your organization.

Whether you are looking for fully outsourced internal audit services, a co-sourcing arrangement or a managed services approach, our internal audit team will build solutions that make sense for your business.

Delivering value beyond compliance

At a time when the pace of change within companies has never been greater, experienced RSM advisors provide an outside-in perspective that gives your organization a competitive advantage and facilitates growth. Beyond supporting basic compliance and greater operational efficiency, our strategic perspective on internal audit translates into added value for your organization.

In every engagement, we work to understand your overall organizational strategy and then tailor an internal audit program that meets your organization’s specific needs, all while maintaining our independence. To help build consensus across your organization, our advisors will then communicate the value of internal audit to leadership, audit committees and boards of directors. And because of our deep roster of industry-aligned advisors with CAE-equivalent experience, we are often able to deliver projects that uncover unexpected value during internal audit engagements.

Whatever the state of your current internal audit function, RSM advisors add value to your organization and support your key business objectives.
