Internal Audit Co-Sourcing
We work with internal audit teams in a co-sourced model to perform control testing and other internal control projects. This approach gives you added capacity and specialized experience while allowing client personnel to remain closely involved in the work.
Co-sourcing can be an efficient way to help you complete audit and SOX-related projects, improve internal audit coverage, and advance staff development without the full cost of expanding internal resources.
Internal Audit Staffing
When you need added capacity without adding permanent headcount, Behunin & Associates provides interim staffing and project-based support that fits your situation. Temporary staffing support helps internal audit functions manage busy periods, special projects, and staffing transitions. Our professionals work alongside your team to complete audit and control-related work more efficiently.
Internal Audit Outsourcing
We provide internal audit outsourcing services for organizations that want to delegate the entire function to a third party. We work closely with management to align the procedures performed and communicate results and recommendations.
IT and Business Staffing
We provide temporary staffing resources for IT, finance, and business functions when you need added support for compliance work, control activities, documentation, or process-related projects.
Quality Control
We perform quality control procedures around IT and business processes to help you evaluate whether controls are being performed and documented as required. These procedures help improve the quality of yourcontrol activities, strengthen documentation, and reduce audit exceptions.
Control Performance Support
In some situations, your organization may need hands-on help performing controls and documenting evidence of performance. Our team performs control execution activities, including control initiation, documentation of control performance, and preparation of audit-ready evidence for internal and external audit teams.
This is especially useful for recurring controls such as user access reviews and quarterly business process monitoring controls.
User Access Review Support
We review and analyze your user access review processes to identify ways to improve effectiveness and efficiency. Our work may include drafting user access review policies, defining review requirements, preparing templates, providing examples for in-scope systems, execution of the review, and training personnel involved in the review process.
Fraud Investigation Support
Targeted fraud and loss investigations help your organization determine what happened, identify likely causes, and strengthen the control environment going forward. This work may include investigating inventory loss, identify control breakdowns, and recommend measures to better protect assets. Our team includes a Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE).
Process Surveys and User Feedback
Conducting open-ended surveys and interviews with process owners and users to help you identify recurring issues, capture user experience, and document opportunities for improvement. The feedback can then be used to strengthen processes, improve usability, and address control or operational concerns.
