Diagnostic engagement
Pre-Audit Readiness Review
A short diagnostic before a full financial audit of budget control applications — identifying evidence gaps and weak control points early.
Purpose
Use this engagement when you want to know whether your commitment logs, approval trails, and variance explanations will withstand a deeper audit. It is not a substitute for the flagship audit; it is a focused readiness pass.
What we deliver
A readiness memo listing missing evidence, unclear virement practice, and cost centres that would attract heavy sampling in a full engagement. You leave with a preparation checklist timed to your close calendar.
Included
- Desk review of control policy versus recent transactions
- Spot checks on high-value commitments
- Interview with the budget control owner
- Written readiness memo
Excluded
- Full sample programme and signed audit findings
- Remediation implementation
