Internal Audit
Regulators across different jurisdictions are expecting license holders to embed the principles of the Three Lines Model into their controls, operations, and culture. The Three Lines Model should be adapted to the needs and business priorities of license holders thereby facilitating the identification of structures and processes that best assist them in achieving their objectives, stronger governance, risk management and financial crime compliance. The internal audit function forms an integral part of the Three Lines Model.
Internal audit focuses on the wider concerns of regulated entities hence assisting them to mitigate risk exposures whilst achieving their objectives. An effective internal audit framework adds value and improves the operations of a regulated entity by integrating elements of control, risk management and compliance with the aim of helping it shape its governance structure. It identifies inefficient processes and areas of poor performance with the aim of achieving maximum effectiveness.
