Internal audit services in Sierra Leone
SLONEC Accountancy provides outsourced and co-sourced internal audit for companies, public bodies and NGOs in Sierra Leone. We agree a risk-based plan with your board or audit committee, test whether key controls are working, and report findings with practical recommendations. We don’t carry out internal audit on a finance function that we run for you.
Who it is for
- Companies and groups that need an internal audit function without a full in-house team.
- Public bodies and state-owned enterprises.
- NGOs and donor-funded programmes (see our donor-grant finance page).
What we do
- Risk assessment and a risk-based internal audit plan.
- Controls testing: procurement, payroll, cash and bank, inventory, IT access and revenue.
- Reports to management and the board or audit committee, with agreed actions and follow-up.
- Co-sourcing: we work alongside your in-house team where you have one.
How we work
We follow a recognised internal audit methodology and agree scope, access and reporting lines in writing at the start. Internal audit is assurance for management and the board. It does not replace any audit your funders or the law require.
Independence
We don’t audit a finance function that we run for you, and we tell you if another of our services would create a conflict.
