Strategic audit and review

Most leading international companies now have formal codes of conduct: the challenge is to ensure that the principles in these codes are fully applied at all levels of the company throughout its operations.


Control Risks consultants offer clients a strategic audit and review to assess the effectiveness of their integrity policies, identify weak spots, and recommend solutions. The audit includes an analysis of the company’s organisational structure; the effectiveness of checks, balances and controls; internal communication and reporting lines; and training programmes.

Depending on what we find, we can offer advice on methods of helping the company to establish or reinforce its policies, and provide defences again both internal and external threats that might undermine its integrity.
