1. Statutory Audit
Statutory Audit refers to the mandatory examination of a company's financial records, transactions, and statements by an independent auditor appointed by law or statute. The purpose is to verify the accuracy and fairness of the financial information presented in the company's financial statements, ensuring compliance with relevant accounting standards, regulations, and legal requirements. The audit results in an opinion provided by the auditor, indicating whether the financial statements present a true and fair view of the company's financial position and performance. This audit is typically required by government authorities, regulatory bodies, or shareholders to provide assurance on the reliability and integrity of the company's financial reporting. As an independent NED, you're expected to bring objectivity, experience, and expertise to the boardroom discussions. You offer an outside perspective, which can be valuable in challenging assumptions, evaluating risks, and enhancing corporate governance practices. Importantly, you act in the best interests of the company and its shareholders, exercising due diligence and fiduciary responsibility.
2. Internal Audit
Internal Audit is an independent evaluation function within an organization that assesses and monitors its activities to provide assurance on the effectiveness of risk management, control, and governance processes. Internal auditors conduct reviews of internal controls, processes, and procedures to identify weaknesses, inefficiencies, and areas for improvement. They provide recommendations to management for enhancing operational efficiency, risk management, and compliance with policies and regulations. Internal Audit helps organizations achieve their objectives by ensuring the integrity of their operations and the reliability of their financial reporting.
