Audit
Audit is central to the success of our business. By evaluating the effectiveness of controls across the business they provide assurance that the key risks our business faces are effectively mitigated. These controls take many forms, including system-based validation checks, management information and straightforward requisition and approval processes.
To ensure that business controls are designed and operating effectively, Audit conducts independent assurance reviews using a risk-based audit approach, reporting findings to the Audit Committee. Audit produce an annual plan of work which is flexed quarterly to reflect changes to the business. They also ensure that potential or existing issues are properly addressed
