by Aaa Cas Auditors & Business Consultant in DubaiRegardless of the size of your
company and the segment in which it operates, having better control over the
actions and information generated will be essential to build a strong competitive
differential, stand out in the market and grow in a sustainable way. But, after
all, what is the importance of internal audit at this stage?
Basically, it's all about the
process. After all, it is what will enable the discovery of operational failures
and opportunities for improvement for the business. You still don't do an
internal audit in your company? See from now on, in detail, why it is so
important for your company:
Enhances the company's risk management
Most United Arab Emirates companies
are exposed to risks such as fraud, registration errors, operational
inefficiencies and numerous irregularities. All of this can be committed
precisely by those who should fight them the most: managers, employees,
suppliers, etc.
This makes accounting management a
fundamental strategy for the internal Auditors in Dubai, if it is not
considered, these problems can become increasingly difficult to detect
accurately, causing damage to property and causing serious penalties applied by
Organs supervisory bodies.
On the other hand, an internal
audit can help to solve these problems, identifying unfilled gaps in the
processes, which would nullify the facilities for fraudulent actions within the
company, considerably reducing the error rate.
Promotes best governance practices
Another point that raises the
importance of internal auditing in the company is the fact that it assesses
whether the adopted work standard is being complied with by managers and
employees from all departments.
In fact, it is common to see
departmental managers and their employees disrespecting and changing certain
norms, guidelines and other determinations imposed on the ideal behavior and
methodologies they must follow. This non-fulfillment of orders can jeopardize
the performance of the sector and affect the results of the entire company.
However, with a periodic internal
audit, these misconduct will be easily discovered, ensuring credibility and
transparency in the activities performed by the company.
Generates improvements in internal processes
Through a professional internal audit, it is possible to identify compliances and,
mainly, non-compliances, helping managers to discover more easily what can be
improved to add competitiveness to the business.
This includes ways to reduce waste
of resources, increase productivity with quality and reduce production time,
for example. In this way, operations are optimized using methodologies and
technologies that are among the best practices of the moment.
That is, in addition to monitoring
compliance with the norms and standards by its managers and employees, the
internal audit will assess whether it is necessary to change any of these
procedures to further improve the level of efficiency of the activities.
The idea is that after the first
internal audit in the company, it will act more in the sense of prevention than
correction of procedural failures, representing an activity with a great focus
on control and bringing significant changes to the business over time.
It is worth mentioning that
internal audit has a very high strategic level and requires a very high degree
of know-how (specialization) from those who will put it into practice.
Therefore, seek professional support .
Thus, you will have the vision of an outside expert, who will present
appropriate solutions to improve the management of your business.
Now that you know the importance
of internal Auditors
in UAE, don't waste any more time. Put it into practice today and raise
the efficiency level of your business.
