7.5 Internal Audits

The purpose of internal audits is to assess, monitor, review and analyse the procedures, systems and controls that the company has in place to ensure that they are compliant with the regulatory requirements.

It is our responsibility as a regulated firm to carry out frequent audits on all procedures and to review the results and provide gap analysis information so that any shortcomings can be assessed and corrected without negative consequences occurring.

Section SYSC 6.2 of the FCA Handbook advises that a firm has a responsibility to: –

• establish, implement and maintain an audit plan to examine and evaluate the adequacy and effectiveness of the firm’s systems, internal control mechanisms and arrangements
• issue recommendations based on the result of work carried out in accordance with (1)
• verify compliance with those recommendations
• to report in relation to internal audit matters in accordance with SYSC 4.3.2 R
