Audit Transformation

Establish a transformation vision and goals. Make the case for change.

Status quo and legacy ways of working will result in falling behind rather than keeping up. Internal Audit leaders need to embrace the need for change and key Internal Audit stakeholders need to expect it. Business initiatives, regulatory requirements, and technology have all been subject to significant change; Internal Audit functions need to change and evolve simply to keep up and must embrace transformation as a business-as-usual activity, continue to position for the future needs of the organisation.

We help establish transformation priorities and plans, and support in their implementation, offering advice on leading practices and strategies to deliver successful outcomes and enable change.

Embrace a change mindset and view transformation as an imperative

Transformation Strategy & Planning

Support all aspects of the transformation journey from establishing a vision and strategic plan to implementation and change management.

Controls Programme Strategy

Establish highly efficient and effective control testing programmes that serve the needs of multiple stakeholders (internal and external) and leverage the latest technologies and tools. Embed a controls-mindset across the organisation.

Quality Assessment & Leading Practices

Assess conformance to standards of professional practice, regulatory expectations, and general leading practice. Leverage proprietary frameworks and capability maturity models to support the development of roadmaps.

Audit Committee Advisory

Engage with and advise Executives and Audit Committee members on their risk oversight responsibilities as well as leading practices related to engagement with and assessment of the organisation’s Internal Audit function and leaders.
