Risk and compliance advisory

Internal audit, systems reviews and internal controls checks that find the gaps before they cost you money.

Every business relies on controls it rarely looks at: who can approve payments, who counts the stock, who has access to the system. We evaluate the systems of internal control against good practice and test whether they work in practice.

We carry out internal audits and systems and operations audits, help prepare internal audit plans for boards and audit committees, and write the standard operating procedures that make good controls routine.

Our reports say plainly what works, what does not and what to fix first.

Who it is for

Who we do this for

  • Boards and owners who want an independent view of their controls
  • Businesses without their own internal audit function
  • Regulated businesses that must show their controls work
  • Growing businesses whose procedures were never written down

Questions

Frequently asked questions

No. Any business can benefit from a controls review. Regulated businesses also have to show their regulator that their controls work, and our reports help them do that.

How a process actually runs from start to finish, such as purchasing, sales, payroll or stock, who does each step, and where errors or losses could slip through. We recommend changes and can write the procedures.

They overlap. A risk and compliance review looks at specific risks or rules, while internal audit is an ongoing programme across the business. We do both, and can prepare an internal audit plan.
