Risk Advisory & Internal Audit
Internal audit, controls testing and process reviews for the clients who need assurance beyond the annual financial statement.
What we work with
Overview
Most control failures are visible long before they cost anything, provided somebody is looking. We run internal audit and controls testing as a documented programme, so findings arrive with evidence attached and a recommendation your client can act on.
Most control failures are visible long before they cost anything, provided somebody is looking. Internal audit and controls testing run properly is a documented programme with an agreed scope, not an annual scramble, and it produces findings with evidence attached rather than opinions.
We run internal audit programmes against an agreed plan, test internal financial controls for design and operating effectiveness, and document processes so a client’s team can actually follow them. Findings come with the evidence, the exposure and a recommendation your client can act on.
Scope
Scoped, executed and reported against an agreed annual plan.
Design and operating effectiveness testing, documented for reliance.
Walkthroughs, gap analysis and practical redesign of weak controls.
Written procedures your client’s team can actually follow.
Ongoing transaction-level review for higher-risk processes.
Identifying where the exposure sits before it becomes a finding.
What changes
Every observation is supported by testing documentation, so it can be defended in a meeting.
Procedures written for the people who have to run them, not for a binder.
Risk assessment runs ahead of the testing, so scope goes where the exposure actually is.
How we work
One qualified person assigned to your firm, working in your software and following your checklists.
A second qualified review against your own review points, before the file comes back to you.
A partner signs off every deliverable, so you always know who is responsible for the work.
Questions
Scope is agreed with you at the start, usually against a risk assessment. Execution, testing and reporting then run to that plan across the year.
Yes, both design and operating effectiveness, documented to a standard that supports reliance.
Yes. Written for the client’s own team, in their language, so the procedure is usable rather than decorative.
Audit support prepares files underneath an external audit opinion. Risk advisory is internal work for the client’s own management, covering controls, process and exposure.
Industries
The same service reads differently depending on whose books it is. These are the sectors we work across.
