What is Concurrent Audit ?

Concurrent Audit involves the real-time monitoring and evaluation of an organization’s processes and transactions. Unlike traditional audits, which review activities after they occur, concurrent audits provide immediate feedback, allowing for the timely identification and correction of issues.

This approach enables organizations to address potential problems and inefficiencies as they arise, ensuring that internal controls and compliance measures are consistently effective. Real-time oversight helps prevent issues from escalating and maintains operational integrity.

By implementing concurrent audits, organizations can enhance their risk management and operational efficiency. This continuous review fosters a proactive approach to compliance and process improvement, supporting overall organizational health and governance.
