What it is:                  
The advent of Sarbanes-Oxley disrupted many companies trying to meet compliance deadlines.  But the more savvy companies look on the second year of internal audits as a shift from a legal necessity an opportunity for process improvement.

What we do:              
UHY Advisors takes a business approach to internal audits.  Many companies have been faced with staff reductions or mergers that caused combined functions, which will oftentimes result in diminished internal controls.  We will make objective, industry-insightful recommendations on making process improvements that are designed not just for compliance, but also for corporate efficiency.

Why we excel:           
In the past 18 months, all of UHY Advisors’ year-one clients have become year two clients, except for those who merged or were acquired by other companies.  As part of your due diligence in hiring an internal auditor, ask the question about client retention, which is a good indicator of the quality of a firm’s work.
