Questions

Common questions

Can we engage you for analytics only?

Yes. Analytics is available as a standalone service, as well as being built into our audit, SOX and validation engagements.

Do we need to buy new software?

Not usually. We work with the tools and data platforms you already have where possible, and recommend new tools only where they clearly pay for themselves.

Can full-population testing replace sampling for our external auditor?

It can reduce reliance on sampling, but your external auditor decides how to use it. We agree the approach with them early so the work counts.

How is our data handled?

We agree data access, storage and handling with you before any work starts, and keep data within your environment wherever practical.

Getting started

Start with a focused initial assessment.

Typically 2 to 4 weeks. A fixed-scope look at your priorities, with a roadmap you can act on whether or not we continue.
