Are you viewing your Internal Audit function as merely a box-ticking exercise? If so, you might be missing its true strategic value.

At Barnett & Co Accountants, we understand that in today’s complex UK regulatory environment, simply meeting compliance is not enough. Our Internal Audit services are designed to be a proactive, forward-looking tool that doesn't just check controls, but fundamentally strengthens your business from within.

Delivering Objective Assurance

Internal Audit is an independent, objective assurance and consulting activity that helps your organisation accomplish its objectives by bringing a systematic, disciplined approach to evaluate and improve the effectiveness of risk management, control, and governance processes. Our specialist team provides more than just a report; we deliver actionable insights that protect and enhance your organisational value.

We focus on several critical areas for your business:

• Operational Efficiency: We scrutinise business processes to identify bottlenecks and wasteful practices, leading to streamlined operations and significant cost savings across the board.

• Enhanced Risk Management: Gain an objective view of your entire risk landscape—from financial controls and supply chain resilience to emerging risks like cyber threats and Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) compliance.

• Robust Governance & Controls: We evaluate the effectiveness of your internal control framework, ensuring policies are not just written, but deeply embedded and operating as intended throughout your organisation.

• Regulatory Assurance: Stay ahead of evolving UK legislation, including GDPR, Companies House requirements, and sector-specific financial regulations, significantly reducing the risk of costly penalties and unexpected issues.

• Fraud Prevention: Our independent analysis helps to identify vulnerabilities in systems and processes that could be exploited, acting as a crucial and systematic deterrent against fraud and financial misconduct.

💡 The Barnett & Co Difference: We don't just report on the problem—we partner with you to develop pragmatic, customised recommendations that fit your unique business culture and strategic goals, ensuring your internal functions drive long-term success.

Partnering for Success

Whether you require a fully outsourced internal audit function, co-sourced support for a specific, high-risk project, or advisory services to mature your existing function, we have the flexibility and expertise to assist your business.

Now is the time to turn uncertainty into an opportunity for improved governance, increased efficiency, and sustained growth.
