Why It Matters

What appears in reports may not always reflect what is happening across the organisation. An independent review can uncover gaps, control weaknesses, and overlooked exposures before they become larger business concerns.

Identify inconsistencies between documented policies and actual practices.

Review Financial Controls

Examine processes, approvals, records, and transactions for potential weaknesses.

Spot Compliance Concerns

Detect deviations from internal requirements and applicable regulations.

Strengthen Accountability

Give decision-makers clear findings to address issues and improve oversight.

Beyond the Brief

What's the difference between an internal review and an audit conducted by Inquest Global?

Internal reviews are often self-assessed, which can carry inherent bias or blind spots. An independent audit brings an objective, external perspective, free from internal politics or assumptions which is often what regulators, boards, and investors expect to see.

How long does an audit typically take?

This depends on the scope and complexity of the area being audited. A focused compliance or vendor audit may take a few weeks, while broader operational audits can take longer. Timelines are agreed upon during scoping.

What happens if the audit uncovers serious misconduct or fraud?

Findings that indicate potential fraud, misconduct, or legal exposure are flagged separately, with guidance on appropriate next steps which may include a more focused investigation.

Is this only relevant for large organisations?

No. Audits are equally valuable for growing businesses, especially before major decisions like fundraising, partnerships, or leadership transitions, when unverified gaps carry more weight.

Do you provide ongoing or periodic audit services?

Yes. Many clients engage Inquest Global for periodic audits as part of an ongoing risk management and governance practice, rather than a one-time exercise.
