The Compliance & Internal Audit Department, led by the Chief Compliance Officer (CCO), provides independent and objective oversight of Ammetra’s operations. Its job is to make sure the company follows the law, its own policies, and the highest ethical standards. It also identifies risk, waste, fraud, and misconduct.
Independence #
To stay objective, the department operates independently from the business it reviews. The CCO has direct access to the CEO and the Board, and can report concerns without interference. No employee or manager may obstruct an audit or investigation.
What We Do #
- Internal audits: Review financial, operational, and IT controls across divisions and shared services.
- Compliance programs: Maintain policies and training on anti-bribery, conflicts of interest, data protection, trade compliance, and other regulatory requirements.
- Investigations: Look into reports of fraud, misconduct, policy violations, and ethical concerns.
- Risk assessment: Identify and rank enterprise risks and recommend ways to reduce them.
- Inspections and evaluations: Check whether programs are effective, efficient, and achieving their goals.
- Recommendations and follow-up: Issue findings and track corrective actions until they are complete.
The Audit Process #
- Planning: The audit scope and objectives are shared with the business unit.
- Fieldwork: Auditors review records, test controls, and interview staff.
- Draft findings: Findings are discussed with management before they are finalized.
- Final report: The report goes to leadership with agreed corrective actions and deadlines.
- Follow-up: Compliance confirms that each action has been completed.
