Internal Audit Services

Insight. Assurance. Better Governance.

Internal Audit is more than a compliance exercise - it is a strategic function that provides management and the Board with assurance over processes, risks, and controls. Organizations increasingly seek flexible, scalable, and high-quality Internal Audit support that aligns with their risk appetite and operational objectives.

At Varah Risk Advisory Services LLP, we offer risk-based internal audit services delivered through a global offshore model, helping companies strengthen governance, identify gaps, and enhance operational efficiency - while benefiting from significant cost savings.

Our Internal Audit teams are trained on IIA Standards, versed in industry best practices, and experienced in delivering audit-ready, actionable reports.

Our Internal Audit Capabilities

We begin by understanding your organization - strategy, objectives, operational environment, and risks.
Our team performs:

  • Annual IA risk assessments.
  • Audit universe development.
  • Multi-year internal audit plans.
  • Stakeholder interviews and workshops.

This aligns the internal audit plan to key business priorities.

  • Clear, actionable reporting.

We work under your audit methodology or provide our own structured IA framework.
