Internal Audit
Thorough investigation of internal processes, controls and resiliance
Internal audit has evolved over recent years, moving away from compliance, checklists and tick box testing. Now internal audit professionals act as business partners, using their holistic views to identify strategic improvements and being the core conduit between business units. The DNA team has significant experience in the internal audit space across a wide cross section of clientele.
How we can help
Control identification and testing
Effective risk management is underpinned by strong internal controls. Identifying the right controls — and ensuring they operate as intended — is essential to safeguarding business processes, maintaining compliance, and supporting confident decision-making. By embedding robust control identification and testing processes, you can move beyond reactive compliance toward proactive risk management.
DNA can help you systematically identify key controls across your operations and align them to your risk landscape and unique objectives. Through structured testing and evaluation, DNA can provide assurance that your controls are not only well-designed but also operating effectively in practice.
Internal audit is no longer just about assurance — it is a powerful driver of operational excellence. By examining how processes function in practice, DNA can assist you to uncover inefficiencies, strengthen controls, and unlock opportunities for meaningful improvement.
Through a focus on process performance improvement, internal audit becomes a catalyst for change — delivering not only assurance, but measurable value that enhances efficiency, strengthens governance, and supports long-term business success.
Process improvement
Effective risk management is not confined to frameworks and policies — it depends on the awareness and actions of your people. Equipping employees and leadership with the knowledge to identify, assess, and respond to risk is essential to embedding a strong and sustainable risk culture.
DNA has experience in working with all levels of organisations, turning theory into bespoke tangible examples, and setting the foundations for meaningful and implementable decisions and strategic direction.
