Fraud, control failures, and compliance gaps don't announce themselves. They quietly erode your business until they can no longer be hidden. Naicents' Internal Audit function gives your board, management, and investors independent assurance that your organisation is protected — and positioned to grow with confidence.
We develop an annual Internal Audit Plan grounded in your organisation's risk universe — prioritising the areas where control failures would cause the most damage — and execute it systematically throughout the year using IIA International Professional Practices Framework.
We assess the adequacy and effectiveness of your controls across procure-to-pay, order-to-cash, payroll, financial reporting, and IT — and design or strengthen controls where gaps are found. Prevention is always cheaper than remediation.
We identify the conditions that enable fraud — weak segregation of duties, override opportunities, collusion risks — and implement preventive controls. Where fraud is suspected, we conduct confidential forensic investigations to establish facts and quantify losses.
Independent verification that your organisation is meeting its obligations under the Companies Act 2015, the Capital Markets Authority regulations, the Banking Act, the NGO Coordination Act, and sector-specific Kenyan regulations.
For organisations that need an Internal Audit function but cannot justify a full-time team, we provide a complete outsourced service — or supplement your existing team with specialist expertise on complex engagements.
We work directly with your Audit Committee — preparing Board-ready reports, facilitating Committee meetings, and ensuring the internal audit function remains independent, credible, and genuinely useful to governance.
Kenyan organisations lose an estimated 5% of revenue to fraud annually — most of which a functioning internal audit function would prevent.
An active internal audit presence deters fraud. Employees aware that controls are routinely tested are significantly less likely to attempt misappropriation.
A credible internal audit function signals governance maturity — accelerating due diligence processes, reducing the risk premium investors apply, and meeting regulatory expectations.
Beyond assurance, our audit recommendations consistently identify process improvements that reduce cost, cut cycle times, and improve the reliability of your financial reporting.
