Internal Audit Services (IAS) is an integrated approach to internal audit and enterprise risk management. Using our proprietary internal audit methodology (KMAP), we analyze an organization's business strategies and related business processes to help management understand strategic risks and identify cost reduction and profit improvement opportunities. Our risk-based strategy can help organizations transform their internal audit and risk management functions from a traditional, transactions based approach into one that can deliver strategic business assurance and value.

It has a role in top level decision making, protecting the organization against risk, and the continual improvement of control systems.

Major regulatory changes mean that IAS has a role in helping the board adapt quickly to new business risks in addition to helping to facilitate timely responses to investor pressure, decreasing margins, M&A activity and skill shortages.

KPMG's Internal Audit Service professionals can work with clients either:

• In an outsourcing capacity for the IAS function, or
• To supplement the skills or geographic reach of the in-house team through co-sourcing and advisory services
