YOUR IMPACT

As the third line of defense, Internal Audit (IA)’s mission is to independently assess the firm’s internal control structure, including the firm’s governance processes and controls, risk management and capital and anti-financial crime frameworks, raise awareness of control risk and monitor the implementation of management’s control measures. In doing so, Internal Audit:

• Communicates and reports on the effectiveness of the firm’s governance, risk management and controls that mitigate current and evolving risk
• Raises awareness of control risk
• Assesses the firm’s control culture and conduct risks
• Monitors management’s implementation of control measures

We are organized into global teams comprising business and technology auditors to cover all the firm’s businesses and functions, including securities, investment banking, consumer and investment management, risk management, finance, cyber-security and technology risk, and engineering.
