UOWIA - Offering Independent Analysis to Unlock and Resolve

In UOWIA, Internal Auditing is an independent, objective assurance and consulting activity designed to add value and improve an organization’s operations. It helps UOW accomplish its objectives by bringing a systematic, disciplined approach to evaluate and improve the effectiveness of risk management, control and governance processes.

UOWIA has carried out assessments covering amongst many things, financial processes and systems; compliance, legal requirements and regulation; key business process improvements; and safeguarding of assets.

UOWIA team members  utilise methodologies and approaches that recognise UOW objectives, strategies and goals; aim for efficiency gains and performance enablers; are conscious of emerging key risks and effective management of changes; and incorporate drivers in due diligence, quality assurance and corporate governance requirements that meet IPPF standards of the Institute of Internal Auditors.
