What we do
Process Improvement and Internal Controls (PIIC), in conjunction with Internal Audit (IA), performs a wide array of engagements designed primarily to examine policies, processes and procedures within areas deemed to have high levels of perceived risk. Engagements may focus on one or more of the following aspects:
Financial - Assess, evaluate, and make recommendations to management regarding accounting and financial reporting of transactions and activities.
Operational - Assess, evaluate, and make recommendations to management regarding internal controls for operations of departments, units, and areas.
Compliance - Assess, evaluate, and make recommendations to management regarding the effectiveness of the department, units and areas compliance efforts.
Information Technology - Examine and evaluate an area's information technology needs, infrastructure, policies and operations.
PIIC or IA may also be engaged to perform a special review or consultation whose scope of work is determined through discussions with appropriate levels of management, or at the bequest of the senior leadership or the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.
