Internal Audit for Fraud Detection
Budget: $30 – $250 USD
I need a seasoned internal auditor to dig deep into both our day-to-day operations and our core financial processes. The goal is straight-forward: expose any hint of fraud or mismanagement, map out the control gaps that allow it, and give me a clear route to tighter governance.
You’ll start by designing an audit plan that aligns with COSO principles and generally accepted auditing standards. From there, I expect detailed walkthroughs, sample testing, and data-driven analysis of our transaction cycles, approvals, and reporting flows. Use whatever combination of risk assessment tools, data-analytics software, and traditional audit techniques you deem most effective—as long as the evidence chain is watertight.
Deliverables I need to see:
• Audit plan outlining scope, timing, and methodology
• Working papers and test results that support all conclusions
• Fraud-risk matrix with control gap analysis
• Concise final report summarizing findings, financial impact, and actionable recommendations
I’ll make myself and key staff available for interviews and document access, and I’m ready to clear any roadblocks quickly so you can keep momentum. Let me know your typical timeline for similar engagements and any specialized tools you plan to employ.
