Risk Advisory Services

Companies operating in the current global environment are facing many challenges. Organizations are expected to turn threats into opportunities in order to meet the expectations of demanding shareholders. Therefore organizations are faced with many risks and these risks need to be identified and risk treatments need to be formulated.

A risk based audit methodology will be adopted to ensure that audit procedures will be formulated to obtain assurance as to whether operations in the audited areas are carried out in compliance with the rules and regulations of the company. Our audit procedures are formulated to check whether the risks inherent in operations are adequately addressed by the management.

This approach detects high-risk areas where audit effort can be concentrated. The audit can thus focus on areas which are likely to generate better assurance instead of sampling and testing of larger but low risk areas. It structures the audit procedures and re-organizes the audit work in terms of risk perception.
