When "Audit" is mentioned in Turkish business world, the first image that comes to mind is this: The profile of an "inspector" who searches for errors with a red pen in hand, snitches to the boss when they find your shortage, and is disliked.
This is the audit understanding of the 1990s and is now history.
Today in the modern world and in Dizdar Audit's vision, Internal Audit is not a "Police Station" looking for criminals, but a "Preventive Medicine" system that protects your company from a heart attack (bankruptcy).
If there's no Internal Audit mechanism in your company or only document control is done; I'm addressing you not with a technical term but with a vital warning: You're experiencing "Corporate Blindness".
1. COSO Model: Not a Bureaucratic Burden, But the Company's Backbone
In academic literature, COSO (Committee of Sponsoring Organizations) is the constitution of internal audit. But in boss language, this means: How solid is your company's brake system?
What stops a sports car (company) going very fast is its brakes. The stronger your brakes (Internal Control Systems) are, the more confidently you step on the gas (growth). When we set up the COSO model in your company, we set it up not to slow you down but so you can turn corners without skidding, safely.
2. The "Sampling" Era Is Over: Data-Driven Full Audit
Classic auditors (including Big 4) randomly select 50 out of thousands of invoices (Sampling Method) and say "No problem". But what if the fraud or error is in that 51st invoice that wasn't selected?
At Dizdar Audit, we reject "The Luck Factor". With the Data Analytics and Artificial Intelligence algorithms we've developed; we scan all 10,000 of 10,000 transactions in seconds.
- Was an unusual discount made?
- Was a record deleted by entering the system outside business hours?
- Was a duplicate payment made to the same supplier?
Our system catches these not with "sampling" but with "Laser-Guided Precision".
3. Triple Defense Line and "Sustainability"
Internal Audit is your company's insurance. We handle risks in three categories with our multidisciplinary team:
Operational Risks (Industrial Engineering Perspective)
We don't just look at "Is there theft?". We look at "Is there waste? Is there inefficiency?". Machine downtime, waste rates are our audit subjects.
Financial Risks (Accounting Firm/MBA Perspective)
Do balance sheets reflect reality? Are the numbers you think are profit real?
Compliance Risks (Legal Perspective)
Do you have the risk of receiving a fine from the tax office or relevant institutions tomorrow?
Final Word: We Sell Assurance
As a Board of Directors, if you want to rest your head on the pillow comfortably, you must stop seeing audit as an "expense item".
Internal Audit is your company's "Check-up" report. It's the only mechanism that diagnoses cancer (bankruptcy or major corruption) at the first stage before it spreads throughout the body.
As Dizdar Audit, we are not inspectors looking for past mistakes, but your strategic partners managing future risks.
Come, let's build an "Immune System" for your company.
