Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between outsourced and co-sourced internal audit?
With outsourcing, we deliver a full internal audit function to your audit committee's plan and standards. With co-sourcing, our specialist auditors work alongside your in-house team for technical or peak-load reviews.
How do you decide what to audit?
Planning is risk-based and aligned to your strategic priorities. The result is a risk-based audit plan that guides fieldwork and testing.
Can you review IT and ERP-enabled processes?
Yes. Our process assurance covers process discipline and control design, including IT and ERP-enabled processes.
What does the audit committee receive?
Reporting packs, agenda input and action tracking that keep the committee informed, together with findings that set out root causes and practical fixes.
How do you make sure findings are acted on?
Follow-up is a formal step of our approach. We track closure through an action-closure tracker and report progress until improvements are sustained.
