Tech-driven, value-centric, growth-mindset audit.
Comprehensive capabilities across technology risk and cybersecurity to support internal audit organisations — identifying opportunities, managing financial and operational risks, and providing value-added insights through our proprietary improve™ framework.
Rigid annual audit plans were a fine answer for a slower world. Today's risks emerge and reshape themselves quarterly. The internal audit function has to move at that pace — or be a step behind every conversation.
Most internal audit functions are still organised around a year-long audit plan, fixed in October, executed quarterly, reviewed annually. By the time a finding lands, the risk has often already metastasised — or been remediated by someone else and is no longer the interesting story.
Our improve™ framework turns the rigid plan into a running list of value propositions. Audits are framed as value-adds, not box-ticks. The function moves from a fixed schedule to a flexible queue — adjusting based on emerging risk, leadership priorities, and the data the team is seeing in real time.
Our IT team is embedded inside the core internal audit team — so integrated risk assessments and prioritisation happen together, not in series. We evaluate ITGCs across system implementation, program-change management, access to programs and data, and computer operations — while drawing on subject-matter experts in SAP, cybersecurity, cloud, and HANA for high-value targeted assignments.
The capabilities that come standard on every engagement — anchored to frameworks, delivered by partners, refreshable by your team.
Audit-function vision development, IT skills assessment, data governance and integrity reviews, portfolio optimisation — the foundation of a modern IT audit practice.
Logical access, change management, IT operations, and backup/recovery controls — especially around ERP systems (SAP, Oracle) and cloud workloads.
End-to-end SOX support — controls design, testing, deficiency remediation, and external-auditor coordination. We have taken clients from pre-IPO into successful listings.
Tech regulatory audits, security policy audits, segregation of duties, physical security, and ERP configuration analysis — all aligned to the improve™ framework.
Third-party risk management programmes, business continuity and disaster recovery audits, IT asset management, and emerging-technology audit coverage.
Cloud security and migration audits, digital transformation programme audits — purpose-built for organisations going through ERP or cloud-native rebuilds.
The annual plan becomes a queue of value propositions, refreshed continuously based on emerging risk.
Data analytics, automated controls testing, and continuous-auditing pilots replace sample-based testing where it fits.
IT and cyber auditors sit inside the core team — not a separate function. Integrated risk assessments, integrated prioritisation.
Findings are framed as value-adds and improvement opportunities — not just defects. Auditees become collaborators.
Three illustrative engagements drawn from our recent work in this service area — what we built, what the client gained.
