Internal audit & risk advisory
Process Review & SOPs
Standard operating procedures that describe how work is actually done, with the checks built in.
Who needs it
Businesses where processes live in people's heads, that are adding locations or staff, or that keep repeating the same errors.
Good procedures make a business less dependent on individuals and easier to audit. We walk through each process with the people who run it, remove steps that add nothing and write it down in a form your team will use.
Typical areas
- Procure-to-pay and order-to-cash
- Inventory and stores
- Payroll and attendance
- Month-end closing and reporting
Each SOP shows who does what, by when, which approvals apply and which records must be kept.
Documents to keep ready
- A list of the processes to cover
- Current forms, formats and reports
- Time with the people who run each process
