Internal Audits

Strengthen Controls. Reduce Risk. Improve Operational Efficiency.

A Proactive Approach to Safeguarding Your Business

Internal audits are one of the most effective ways to evaluate your organization’s financial practices, operational efficiency, and internal controls. At Cortez & Associates, we provide objective, in-depth internal audit services that help businesses identify weaknesses before they become costly problems. Whether you’re concerned about compliance, fraud prevention, or simply want to improve how your organization functions, our internal audits offer clear, actionable insight.

We assess your accounting systems, financial reporting processes, internal policies, and control environment to ensure everything is functioning as it should. From inventory tracking and procurement procedures to payroll and cash handling, we look at the full picture to uncover gaps, inefficiencies, or risks that could impact performance or compliance. Our findings are documented in a detailed report, complete with recommendations that are practical, realistic, and tailored to your operations.

Internal audits aren’t just for large corporations. They’re an essential tool for any business that wants to stay ahead of potential issues, especially as it grows or undergoes structural changes. If you’ve never conducted an internal audit, we’ll guide you through the process. If you already have a framework in place, we can build on it and strengthen the areas that need more attention.

With Cortez & Associates, internal audits become less about checking boxes—and more about building a stronger, more resilient business from the inside out.
