FAQ

What does an internal audit cover?

Risk-based audits, internal control reviews, operational audits, compliance audits and fraud risk management, supported by data analytics.

Who does the internal auditor report to?

FCG acts as an independent advisor to your board, audit committee and management.

Is internal audit the same as a statutory audit in Saudi Arabia?

No. A statutory audit is mandatory for every Saudi entity and must be performed by a SOCPA-licensed firm — for FCG clients that is our associate firm Gadwalah CPA. Internal audit is an advisory review of your controls, operations and compliance.
