Audit – Internal

Our audit services focus on those areas where we can add the most value to clients’ business decisions. Compliance work provides management and governing bodies with comfort that assurance and control systems are fit for purpose and improvement plans to achieve this. Consultancy projects use our knowledge and experience in partnership with clients to inform and achieve positive change.

Achieving the best value for clients requires a team effort with a strategic focus. We provide an experienced team who work closely with you to understand you and your business. Our teams are always put together with your needs in mind, to ensure the right blend of knowledge and sector experience. The mix of staffing levels ensures cost efficiency, and therefore maximum value for money for you.

We take an integrated approach, calling upon appropriate specialists from across the firm to provide the best advice for each client in a co-ordinated manner. This also allows us to bring in specialists with technical expertise in complex areas such as International Financial Reporting Standards, and VAT, as required.

We tailor our service to suit your specific requirements and can look at your business systems, helping you understand their strengths and weaknesses.

We help you ensure resources are focused on the strategic and risk management areas where the outcome is of most importance to your organisation. We provide a proactive approach, with an emphasis on building long-term relationships based on mutual understanding and trust, and a genuine desire to understand your organisation and its objectives. We have been at the forefront of the development of internal audit for a number of years, and were one of the first firms to link the Audit Needs Assessment to the Risk Register. A significant development in our audit approach and delivery, has come from the introduction of our Audit PLUS+ system.

During the Audit Needs Assessment, our new Audit PLUS+ system involves the application of added value criteria to determine suitability for audit, thereby ensuring we maximise value for money for you.
