Our approach to internal audit

Strategic Assurance with a Risk-Based Focus

At GPMA, we approach internal audit as a value-adding activity—not just a compliance requirement. Our audits are designed to align with your strategic objectives while identifying and addressing high-risk areas. We employ a risk-based methodology that prioritizes audit areas with the greatest potential impact, ensuring meaningful insights and stronger decision-making support.

Tailored Methodology and Governance Framework

We have developed a comprehensive internal audit methodology and customizable internal audit charter that reflect global best practices while adapting to each client's industry, size, and regulatory environment. Our frameworks are especially effective for financial institutions regulated by the Central Bank of Armenia, where compliance, transparency, and adaptability are paramount.

Multidisciplinary Audit Expertise

Our internal audit team is composed of highly credentialed professionals, including Certified Internal Auditors (CIA), Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialists (CAMS), Certified Information Systems Auditors (CISA), tax specialists, and ACCA-qualified experts. This diverse team allows us to perform holistic audits that address financial, operational, regulatory, and technology-related risks in an integrated and thorough manner.

Security-Driven Infrastructure and Insightful Delivery

To support trust and confidentiality, GPMA has developed an IT infrastructure aligned with ISO 27001:2022 information security standards. Our audits are delivered with transparency, efficiency, and a commitment to data protection. We go beyond identifying weaknesses—we provide actionable recommendations that enhance internal controls, promote a culture of accountability, and support long-term organizational resilience.

Expertise in financial service companies​

GPMA serves a diverse portfolio of clients, including investment companies, pension funds, public investment funds, insurance providers, and universal credit organizations. We have deep expertise in the outsourcing of internal audit functions for financial institutions regulated by the Central Bank of Armenia. Our team understands the regulatory landscape and operational complexities of the financial services sector, enabling us to deliver high-quality, risk-based internal audit services tailored to each client’s unique needs.

International certification

Our internal audit team is composed of highly qualified professionals with globally recognized certifications.

Regulatory checklists

At GPMA, we don’t just audit your company-we proactively support your compliance posture by developing sector-specific regulatory and legal checklists tailored to your industry.  In addition, we implement advance notification systems that alert you to upcoming legal and regulatory obligations, enabling your organization to respond early, reduce compliance risk, and maintain full alignment with external requirements. This forward-looking approach ensures that compliance becomes a continuous, managed process-not a reactive one.

One window internal audit services

Internal audit is inherently a multidisciplinary function—requiring expertise in finance, IT, taxation, risk management, and regulatory compliance.
For many small and mid-sized organizations, maintaining such a diverse internal audit team in-house can be challenging. At GPMA, we bridge that gap by providing access to a broad pool of certified specialists. Based on your internal audit plan, we involve the right experts at the right time—ensuring that every audit engagement is thorough, risk-focused, and aligned with professional standards.
