Service Overview IAEdge
“I have been around the internal audit profession for a long time and have witnessed certain buzz words and philosophies come and go—doing more with less, stop-and-go auditing, embedding data analytics—the list goes on. While I wholeheartedly subscribe to these principles, one thing has always remained the same: the necessity of having really good internal audit skills. Sikich has just that—I am extremely proud of the skill and tenure of my team, which gives us the ability to deliver consistent, thorough, on-time, and on-budget audits.”
