Business Assurance
Business Assurance services provide
organisations with robust evidence that their financial controls
are operating efficiently and effectively. We deliver an array of
specialist services, including internal audit and risk management
advice, which assure board members, trustees, and directors that
the financial governance of their organisations is rock solid and
legally compliant.
More than this, we ultimately act
as a catalyst for change and assist in managing the change
process.
Our Business Assurance service
provides a top-down internal audit, focusing on key business risk
areas and taking into account the organisation's strategic
objectives. Our specialist teams work exclusively on internal audit
assignments, while bringing deep technical knowledge from other
sectors and disciplines.
Partnering techniques involve us
operating seamlessly with a client's in-house financial team,
supporting its members, while enabling them to benefit from our
experience and skills. Our service includes:
- We can review and advise on the effectiveness of governance
systems, which is especially important in light of the Turnbull
guidance on listed companies. In the public and RSL sectors, Nolan
and Hancock has underscored the need for high levels of
accountability, transparency and integrity.
- The increased use of risk management as a business improvement
tool means board members must better understand the full extent of
their organisation's activities. We provide an objective,
independent overview to ensure that any risk management process is
rigorous.
- Control Self-Assessment (CSA) is hailed as the best solution
for internal audit. We work directly with management to implement
programmes or train internal audit teams to use CSA programme
techniques.
- The continued development of staff, management and board
members is crucial to the success of any organisation. We run
bespoke training courses for organisations across the broadest
spectrum of sectors.
- Our consultancy team adapts its structured methodology to
individual consultancy assignments, ranging from due diligence work
to value for money studies and fraud investigations.
- Best Value in the public sector raises the issue of continuous
improvement. For RSLs, we run a Benchmark Club have been
instrumental in helping many clients to draw up their Best Value
action plans.
- For computer assignments we have access to a network of
specialist IT consultants who provide expert assistance on a range
of software and network capabilities.
