Tarkastusorganisaatio

Tarkastusorganisaatio refers to an audit organization. These entities are responsible for conducting audits, which are independent examinations of financial statements, internal controls, or other aspects of an organization's operations. The primary goal of an audit is to provide assurance that the information being examined is presented fairly and accurately, or that processes are operating as intended and in compliance with relevant regulations and standards. Audit organizations can be internal to a company, meaning they are part of the company's own structure and report to management or the board of directors, or they can be external, independent firms hired by a company or other entity.

External audit organizations typically include accounting firms that provide statutory audits for public and private companies. These audits are often required by law or by investors to ensure financial transparency and accountability. Internal audit organizations, on the other hand, focus on evaluating and improving the effectiveness of risk management, control, and governance processes within their own organization. They help identify potential weaknesses and recommend improvements to operational efficiency and compliance. The specific functions and scope of a tarkastusorganisaatio can vary depending on its mandate, the industry it operates in, and the regulatory environment.
