Ocyan wins Building Awareness Champion for the second consecutive year

For the second year in a row, Ocyan was recognized with the Building Awareness Champion in which corporate actions are evaluated to disseminate the importance of internal audit in favor of good practices adopted in the market. The award is granted annually by the global institute The IIA – The Institute of Internal Auditors headquartered in the U.S.A. and the world’s largest representative of internal auditors. The IIA has international authority and leadership.

In 2018, the Internal Audit actions disseminated the importance of the area through internal communications and meetings with members, which addressed issues such as the internal audit structure in the company, internal audit governance, the construction of the annual work plan, the corporate defense lines and the work methodology.

This year, the company innovated and launched the training ‘Auditor for a day’ – both at the headquarters in Rio and at the base in Macaé – in which various dynamics simulated an internal audit work in practice, aiming to clarify and demonstrate, among other activities, the methodology for defining sampling, evaluation of controls and performance of inspection tests.

The Internal Audit area also promoted the lecture “What do internal auditors do?” and was attended by two external professionals, with solid experience in Risk Management, Internal Controls and Internal Audit, who approached the topics in an integrated manner, in order to reach the members of all levels of the company.
