INTERNAL & OPERATIONAL AUDITS

Our firm specializes in risk based Internal & Operational Audits of large International and Indian Corporates in India and abroad. Mahajan & Aibara follows both co-sourced (partnering with the existing Internal Audit departments) and out-sourced models for Internal audits.

Three of our partners are independently responsible for Internal Audit assignments which have been an area of core competence for the firm since last 28 years.

Several blue chip corporates have outsourced their internal & operational audits to M & A. The main thrust of these assignments is towards improved competitive strength through a positive & independent appraisal of risks, business processes & internal controls. Our teams bring to these assignments insights & knowledge of best practices gained from our experience of working with leading international & Indian corporates in India & abroad.

M & A Methodology

  1. Identification, evaluation & prioritization of key business & process risks.
  2. Listing of mitigating internal controls against each risk.
  3. Mapping of business processes and evaluation of Internal controls
  4. Testing of Internal controls for effectiveness using ‘walk-thru’ tests.
  5. Recommending improvements in internal controls, business processes & financial reporting.
  6. Review for compliance with corporate policies, statutory & regulatory environment.
  7. Review of IT systems.
  8. Review of effectiveness of managerial supervision.

For our risk based internal audits, we use state of the art data analytic tools and specially designed control rating indices for evaluating and benchmarking corporate governance processes and overall control environment.
