audit & review

We are mostly called in by clients to provide an external opinion on how well things are going – or not, as the case may be. This external perspective frequently involves a close study of organisational structures and practices, along with a review of the adequacy of key policies including; HRD, ICT/IM&T, marketing, quality and risk management.
