Audit development

Data-driven internal audit with minimal disruption to the business

I assess a function’s digital maturity, shape a development programme, and help implement the changes when needed.

01

Digital maturity assessment

A structured review of data access, analytics, workflow, reproducibility, skills, and AI governance.

  • current and target maturity profile
  • priorities and an improvement roadmap
  • an option to implement the proposed changes

Outcome: a development plan based on the team, systems, and available data.

02

Change implementation

Practical delivery of the agreed roadmap together with internal audit and the relevant corporate functions.

  • data access and repeatable extraction processes
  • analytical scenarios and reproducible workflows
  • methodology, tools, and transfer of practice to the team

Outcome: faster reviews, more precise conclusions, and less management time spent providing data.

AuditFlow. An open framework for structured and reproducible internal audit work. Its principles are reproducible data analysis, documentation of reasoning, automation of mechanical work, and professional judgement remaining human. AI challenges reasoning rather than replacing the auditor.

Programmes and working sessions built around the company’s needs.

01

Working with data
