An outsourced approach to internal audit and controls assurance offers several benefits:
- Access to all the technical skills of a specialist consultancy.
- A strong independence culture as the outsourced supplier is not compromised by their relationship with management.
- The cost flexibility of being able to increase or reduce the level of service quickly and easily.
In addition the Kingston Smith Consulting approach eliminates the two major disadvantages of outsourcing:
- Our core team is involved in every audit and develops an intimate knowledge of your business. Niche experts supplement the core team rather than dilute it.
- We apply a delivery methodology modelled on the most efficient assurance functions in the world. The cost of the service is often less than an in-house function, its productivity almost always higher.
