Internal audit, delivered as your critical friend.
Outsourced and co-sourced internal audit functions built around risk-based plans, with findings written for boards - not for filing.
Internal audit only works when it actually gets read.
Our internal audit practice designs risk-based plans, executes against them, and communicates findings with the directness that Audit Committees need in order to act. We deliver either as a fully outsourced function or as co-source capacity for an existing internal audit team.
Before work begins, we clarify the operating context, governance expectations, and commercial pressures behind the brief. That gives the engagement a clear purpose before technical analysis starts.
The result is a more complete advisory view: what matters now, where risk may surface next, and how recommendations can be implemented without creating unnecessary hand-offs or ambiguity.
Scope
Clarify the decision, deadline, stakeholders, and evidence standard before work begins.
Delivery
Combine partner judgement, technical review, and practical implementation planning in one workstream.
Follow-through
Convert findings into owners, actions, and next steps that leadership can track after the session.

Value an Aureliant IA function delivers.
We measure internal audit on recommendations actually implemented, not on reports filed.
“Aureliant reframed internal audit from a compliance chore into something the board actually uses to make operational decisions.”
