Challenge

During 2020, NHTrust grew significantly, merging and consolidating three wealth management entities. Finding the right time and the right approach to complete the annual internal audit necessitated a customized solution.

  • Performing the internal audit in the middle of the consolidating activity would potentially generate a false impression the overall control environment needed improvement.
  • Waiting too long would prevent the internal audit process from providing any value to management and the audit committee.

Solution

After assessing the situation, Wolf & Company’s Internal Audit Services group developed an innovative and comprehensive extended trust review to follow up on anomalies. This review:

Gave management and the audit committee confidence regarding risk identification and magnitude of any opportunities to improve.

Validated the internal control structure put into place post merger.
