Internal audit vs external audit
An external audit verifies your financial statements to outsiders. An internal audit improves the business for you — testing processes, finding waste and risk, and checking that controls work. Most SMEs have neither; the standards (ISO, PCI DSS, PDPL) all require the second.
How it works
- Scope and plan — what will be audited and how often.
- Fieldwork — document review, testing, interviews.
- Findings report — what is broken, the risk, and the fix.
- Management response — agreed corrective actions with owners and dates.
- Follow-up — verification that the fixes happened.
