OUR APPROACH
Our way of working is informal, personal, positive, and client focused. We provide assurance, advice, insight, solutions, and ideas. We are independent and objective, but we work with management to find solutions to protect and enhance the portfolio businesses. We leave the strategy to management, but we need to understand that strategy to add value. We measure success by how many issues we help to solve, not how many we find. Simplified, we help our companies go big and go fast.
We plan well in advance, but we remain agile and flexible, open to changes when needed, fitting with the dynamics of the Prosus group. We believe internal audit should be in a continuous conversation with management, to make sure we hit the mark on relevance, risk tolerance, and effectiveness. 
OUR DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION COMMITMENT We respect the dignity and human rights of individuals and communities wherever we operate in the world. Building an inclusive workplace where everyone feels welcome and can thrive is critical for us. We provide access to education, which helps everyone understand the important role they play and the positive impact they can have.
