An independent, structured, and clearly managed internal audit function.
ARCAD supports supervised entities in Luxembourg in the organisation, execution and monitoring of their internal audit function, with a local, rigorous and governance-oriented approach.
Outsourcing internal audit doesn't mean standardising your framework.
Every organisation has its risks, governance, operational constraints and maturity level. ARCAD builds a tailored approach, with a constant requirement: to provide an internal audit function that is useful, independent and monitored over time.
A local expert partner to structure your internal audit function.
ARCAD assists supervised entities in Luxembourg in outsourcing or strengthening their internal audit function. Our role is to provide methodology, independence, and practical execution capabilities, without unnecessarily burdening the internal organisation.
The objective is twofold: to ensure the quality of internal audit work and to save time for the teams through smoother organisation, better-structured documentation, and controlled exchanges.
Independence and governance
An internal audit function designed to support governance with clearly formalised findings, recommendations and follow-ups.
Local expertise
A knowledge of the Luxembourg context and the expectations applicable to supervised entities, with a pragmatic and documented approach.
Smooth execution
A governance framework designed to reduce friction: documentary requests, work tracking, documentation, and consolidated reporting.
An intervention tailored to your organisation and your level of maturity.
ARCAD intervenes according to the real needs of your organisation: full support for the internal audit function, strengthening of an existing function, or targeted support on specific assignments.
Full externalisation
ARCAD can handle the entire internal audit function: scoping, audit plan, mission execution, reporting, follow-up of recommendations and reporting to governance bodies.
Co-sourcing
ARCAD intervenes alongside an existing internal audit function to provide complementary expertise, strengthen execution capacity, or cover specific topics with methodology and independence.
Occasional reinforcement
ARCAD accompanies your organisation on targeted missions or specialised topics, when you need independent, structured, and rapidly mobilisable support.
A clear framework, from audit plan to recommendation follow-up.
ARCAD structures its internal audit function around a simple logic: precisely define the scope, execute methodically, document the work, and then ensure clear follow-up for governance.
Scope
Definition of the scope, responsibilities, reporting lines and operating model of the internal audit function.
Plan
Drawing up or reviewing the audit plan in line with risks, priorities, applicable requirements and governance expectations.
Execution
Carrying out the work, collecting evidence, documenting tests, formalising findings and recommendations.
Tracking
Following up on recommendations, structured follow-ups and reporting to the relevant bodies.
Less dispersion
Exchanges are better structured, requests are more readable, and documents are easier to find.
More visibility
Work, recommendations, and deadlines can be tracked with a consolidated view of progress.
Best governance
The deliverables are designed to be understood, used and monitored by the management and control bodies.
A proprietary application to make missions run more smoothly.
ARCAD relies on its proprietary VIGIL application, designed to streamline internal audit missions, secure information exchange, and enhance reporting quality.
The platform supports the auditor's expertise. It allows for the reduction of scattered exchanges, the centralisation of evidence, and provides a clearer view of the work's progress.
Secure exchanges
Requests, responses, documents, and evidence are organised within a secure environment, rather than being scattered across multiple channels.
Hosting in Luxembourg
A local hosting service that strengthens data governance and trust in the processing of sensitive information.
Traceability of work
Actions, validations, documents and recommendations can be tracked over time with improved readability.
Faster reporting
Centralising work makes it easier to prepare summaries, progress reports and periodic reports.
Structured deliverables to facilitate decision-making and monitoring.
The value of internal audit extends beyond the report. It also relies on the quality of the documentation, the clarity of the recommendations, and the ability to follow up on actions over time.
