The role of internal audit in banks, part 3: The importance of monitoring processes and risks related to financial affairs
In the continuation of the second part, we will discuss the role of internal audit in banks, part 3:
**Interaction with customers and transparency:**
In this regard, effective interaction with customers and promotion of transparency also help to strengthen the importance of monitoring financial processes and risks:
1. **Better customer experience:** Continuous interaction with customers allows the bank to better understand the needs and expectations of customers and improve processes in a way that provides a better customer experience.
2. **Transparency in performance:** Providing transparency in reporting and financial performance to customers and shareholders increases trust and allows the bank to build positive relationships with its customers.
3. Identifying customer needs: The information obtained from interacting with customers can help the bank to improve customer needs and preferences and design products and services in the best way.
**Analysis of future risks:**
Finally, the analysis of future risks also helps to increase the importance of monitoring financial processes and risks:
1. **Scenario analysis:** The analysis of different scenarios to face future risks allows the bank to formulate appropriate management plans to face these scenarios.
2. **Analysis of impacts:** Analysis of various possible impacts of future risks allows the bank to prepare in the best way to face these impacts.
3. Designing coping strategies: By analyzing future risks, the bank can determine coping strategies appropriate to each risk to prevent their negative effects.
**The role of technology and data in monitoring:**
With the advancement of technology, the role of data and related tools in monitoring financial processes and risks has become very important:
1. **Data analysis:** Using data analysis, the internal auditor can identify patterns and suspicious behaviors in processes and help identify financial risks.
2. **Change Tracking:** Using data, changes in financial performance and processes can be updated and react to changes quickly.
3. **Predicting risks:** With accurate data analysis, financial risks can be detected early and counter plans can be carefully arranged.
**Improving business intelligence and artificial intelligence:**
The use of artificial intelligence and business intelligence (BI) technologies also helps to monitor financial processes and risks:
1. **Predicting events:** Artificial intelligence and predictive analytics can be used for early detection of sudden events and changes.
2. Fraud detection: Artificial intelligence can identify fraudulent patterns in data and notify the internal auditor.
3. **In-depth analysis of data:** With detailed analysis of data with the help of business intelligence, more accurate monitoring of risks and financial performance can be achieved.
**The role of human interaction and artificial intelligence:**
Although technology is important, human interaction is also important in monitoring financial processes and risks:
1. **Interpretation of analyses:** Humans have the ability to interpret and deeply analyze data and can extract valuable information from the analyzed data.
2. **Strategic decision-making:** Strategic decisions based on data analysis and artificial intelligence analysis require a human perspective.
**Conclusion:**
The use of technology, data, artificial intelligence and human interaction can help strengthen the role of internal audit in monitoring financial processes and risks. The appropriate combination of these factors can help improve the efficiency of the internal auditor, early detection of risks and financial productivity in banks.
