MSc 2 Management, specializing in Internal Audit and Risk Management

Visuel MSc Audit

Internal Audit

long regarded only as an agent of repression within organizations, has now becomethe essential and, above all, indispensablefactor in the long-term success of companies, whatever their sector of activity.

With the evolution of various regulations, in France and internationally, governing all economic activities, the development of technical and technological innovation, IT in particular, the increase in competition and the evolution of behaviors, with a significant impact on fraud and CSR, the internal audit department today takes a neuralgic, not to say vital, place within the organization and governance, whether operational or strategic.

More than just controlling, adjusting and sanctioning, the internal auditor embodies the assurance of risk control within the company and in the course of carrying out its activities. They carry out assignments involving reflection, research, studies, project validation (technical, organizational, strategic, M&A, etc.), in full compliance with regulations, in order to complete, increase, optimize and secure operations as far as possible.
