May is International Internal Audit Awareness Month. At UBC, the Enterprise Risk & Assurance team provides independent, risk-based audit and advisory services, and insight and foresight for management and the Board to consider.
If you’re launching a new project, building a new program, system or capability, looking to understand and improve a critical process, or implementing a change, Enterprise Risk & Assurance can help you anticipate and identify risks and opportunities early, build proper governance, risk and control processes and practices, and avoid strategic, financial, operational and reputational challenges down the road.
Find more information about the team and their services on the UBC Enterprise Risk & Assurance website.
