Internal Audit, Risk, and Compliance

Solutions built for you

By improving the effectiveness of controls, risk management, and governance practices, you can attain superior operational performance and be better prepared to manage enterprise risks. We support risk assessments, audit planning, and perform audits on out-sourced, co-sourced, and consultation-based arrangements.

Enterprise Risk Management

Proactive action to identify, mitigate, and limit opportunities for risk can have a transformational effect on your operations. Our professionals utilize the COSO (Committee of Sponsoring Organizations) framework to assess the effectiveness of risk responses against operational, financial, and compliance risks; offer solutions to improve efficiency; work to align risk strategies with business goals; and ultimately design and implement enterprise risk management processes.

Vendor Contract Compliance

Business contracts are nuanced, complex, and essential to business revenue and compliance concerns.

A detailed assessment can result in steps to recover lost revenue while maintaining beneficial relationships with clients and vendors.

Anti-Money Laundering Assessment

We offer guidance for navigating compliance requirements while also proactively reducing opportunities for fraud enterprise-wide.

We were quite happy with Angel's leadership.  This was an extremely complex project, and at all points of the engagement we felt that we were important to MGO and the team.  It was a Herculean effort by the MGO team.

While under an extremely tight deadline with intense time pressure, MGO’s recent audit of Amyris’ financial statements was thorough, focused, and insightful. MGO clearly has the technical expertise and resources to respond to a firm as large and complex as Amyris, Inc., and provides the personal touch and attention that is unusual.

We can’t believe the difference in (the MGO) team’s professionalism and engagement.
