Internal Audit and Controls: For Companies That Have Outgrown Trust Alone

Internal audit and controls are how a growing company stops relying on trust alone: who can approve what, how cash and inventory are protected, whether processes are followed. FinAura designs the controls, writes the procedures, implements them with your team and tests that they work.

What We Handle

Internal Audit & Controls, Piece by Piece

Internal audit, controls design and testing, SOP and process implementation. Move along the list to see what each piece covers.

  1. Risk-based reviews of purchasing, sales, inventory, payroll, cash and compliance, with findings ranked by what matters and a plan to fix them.

  2. Approval limits, segregation of duties, reconciliations and reviews designed for your size, not copied from a textbook.

  3. Controls tested on real transactions, with evidence, so management and auditors know they operate.

  4. Risk and control matrices and process narratives for companies that need to show their controls framework.

  5. Standard operating procedures written with the people who do the work, rolled out, trained and checked.

  6. New processes for purchasing, billing, collections or expenses put in place and running, not just documented.

Questions We Get Asked

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between internal audit and statutory audit?

A statutory audit is an independent opinion on the annual financial statements, required by law. An internal audit is a management tool: regular reviews of processes, controls and risks to improve how the business runs. FinAura provides internal audit services.

What are internal controls over financial reporting?

They are the checks that make sure the numbers in your accounts are complete and accurate: approvals, reconciliations, access controls, reviews and segregation of duties, documented and tested.

What does SOP implementation involve?

Mapping the current process, writing the procedure with the people who perform it, agreeing forms and checklists, training the team, going live, and checking after a few weeks that it is being followed.

How often should a small company do an internal audit?

Most growing companies benefit from a quarterly or half-yearly review of the highest-risk areas, with a wider review once a year. We scope it to your size and risks.

Do you provide internal audit services in Bangalore?

Yes. Our Chartered Accountants are based in Bangalore and conduct internal audits on site and remotely for companies across India.
