Internal audit to find out whether your controls actually work
We review processes, controls and data with independent eyes, flag the risks that matter and leave you a prioritized plan to fix them.

We adapt the scope to the size and sector of the company. These are the areas that come up most often.
We map purchasing, sales, collections, payments and payroll, and check which controls exist, which are followed and which live only on paper.
Bank reconciliations, payment approvals, signatories, cards and petty cash. This is where most errors and most fraud show up in small companies.
We spot who can create a vendor, approve its invoice and pay it without anyone else seeing, and propose how to split those tasks.
We check that reporting matches the ledger and reality: inventory, receivables, accruals and provisions.
We verify tax, payroll and data protection obligations with your CPA or counsel, and review current contracts and signing authorities.
If you face a statutory audit, a lender review or investor due diligence, we prepare the documentation and resolve issues before the auditors arrive.
Owners who have delegated day-to-day operations and need to know that money and information are under control. Also groups with several entities or foreign subsidiaries that nobody reviews in detail.
And specific moments: a change of general manager or controller, suspected irregularities, a new partner coming in, preparing a sale, or a first external audit. We work with your CPA, not against them.
Independent and discreet. We say what we see, with evidence.
Short, well-planned fieldwork that does not stall operations and ends with a report people understand.
A report for management, a work plan for the team, and the evidence that supports both.
No. An external audit is performed by a licensed CPA firm that issues an opinion on whether your financial statements are fairly presented. An internal audit reviews processes, controls and risks for management, with a scope you decide. They complement each other: the second makes the first far less stressful.
We explain it from day one: the goal is to improve processes, not to find someone to blame. We interview with respect, request documents in advance and avoid interrupting closes. In most cases the team is relieved that someone finally organizes procedures that had drifted for years without review.
A first audit at a mid-sized company usually takes four to eight weeks, with one or two weeks on site. After that, a follow-up review six months later makes sense and, if the business requires it, a yearly review with a reduced scope focused on the highest-risk areas.
We inform you immediately and confidentially, document the evidence and help you decide the next steps together with your attorney. We do not act as forensic experts in court, but we prepare the information so that a forensic specialist or law firm can use it if you choose to go that route.
Tell us what worries you and we will propose a scope that fits your size, without reviewing what does not need reviewing.
