Having your cake and eating eat.

Transfer the risks but retain overall strategic control for less money - a win-win solution.

Outsourcing audit services to a firm that really understands your organisation’s culture and knows how to navigate though the internal politics and sensitivities.

What you can expect from HW

Shifting internal costs to an external provider can help reduce the fixed costs associated with an in-house resource. Such cost savings can be particularly marked within local authorities where activity in areas such as audit tends to experience peaks and troughs. Within the public and private sector we will come prepared with substantial sector knowledge, supported by an upfront assessment of an organisation’s culture and its management arrangements processes. Unlike some other firms we will provide an experienced core team that is knowledgeable and understands your particular business sector.

Should you decide to outsource internal audit to us you can be assured of the following
