Dear Sophie,
I am writing to inform you about the upcoming internal audit scheduled for the Finance Department. The internal audit plays a crucial role in ensuring compliance with regulations and enhancing operational efficiency.

The audit team will consist of myself and two additional auditors. Your team will be responsible for providing access to necessary documents and participating in interviews as needed. We appreciate your cooperation during this process.
