Internal Audit

Over the past few years, HISPASAT has conducted its own Internal Audit independently and objectively, adding value to the organisation by creating jobs for analysts, supervisors and assessors to work on the Company’s operations.

Amongst others, the activities carried out in the Internal Audit area have focused on developing the following aims:

Past work focused on defining the Internal Audit Plan and giving a detailed outline of HISPASAT’s annual initiatives, including the revision of internal control and the methods and processes established as a tool for continuously improving the Group.

In 2014 in the Internal Audit area, in compliance with the approved plan, a total of seven revisions were carried out, amongst which those conducted in the field of sales, purchases, general controls and ICT stand out, in addition to checks carried out in order to ensure that HISPASAT, S.A. and HISPAMAR Satélites comply with ISO 9001 certification. As a result of the revision process implemented, the area has applied over sixty recommendations to the organisation, which have been used to define action plans.
