Why have an in-side audit?
The purpose of the audit is to identify where your business is now, where it wants to be and what gaps need to be closed in order to achieve your overall business objectives.
The audit will specifically highlight areas that require attention and how they should be addressed.
Some of the areas that are investigated as part of the audit are detailed below:
