Internal auditors evaluate sales and customer relationship operations across three core touchpoints:
  1. Marketing Spend Transparency: Reviewing advertising agency contract terms, auditing media performance metrics, and checking procurement controls over third-party marketing expenditures to prevent contract overcharges.
  2. Sales Contract Pricing Integrity: Verifying that discounts, pricing adjustments, and rebate programs offered to commercial buyers comply with established authority matrices and receive appropriate management approvals before commitments are made.
  3. CRM System Access Safeguards: Auditing data security boundaries inside Customer Relationship Management (CRM) platforms, ensuring that client data privacy controls comply with legal mandates like GDPR and protect consumer records from unauthorized exposure.
