OUR SERVICES / RISK ADVISORY

Risk Advisory

A closer look at how your business works.

How we can help

As businesses grow, processes and controls need to keep pace with changes in operations. Our risk advisory work helps management examine how activities are carried out, where control gaps may arise and which issues merit closer review.

Each engagement begins with an agreed purpose and scope. We review relevant records, discuss processes with the people responsible and assess the findings in the context of the business. Recommendations are directed at the issues identified during the work.

SCOPE OF SERVICES

  • Internal audits of business processes
  • Review of internal financial controls
  • Analysis of financial and operational data
  • Due diligence reviews

What the work covers

Internal audit

Reviews of selected business processes and operational practices, with attention to compliance, process discipline and the use of resources. Findings help management prioritise corrective action and areas for further examination.

Internal financial controls

Assessment of the design and operation of controls relevant to financial reporting. We examine responsibilities, approval practices and the supporting records to identify gaps in the control environment.

Data analytics

Analysis of financial and operational datasets to identify unusual patterns, inconsistencies and exceptions. The results can support a focused review of transactions and help management ask more specific questions.

Due diligence

Examination of relevant financial information and supporting documentation for an agreed transaction or business review. We highlight matters that may affect the assessment, together with information gaps requiring follow-up.

OUR FOCUS

An understanding of the risks that matter, supported by evidence and recommendations management can act on.
