Discuss this serviceHow we can help
Support shaped around your organization.
Risk and internal control reviews help leaders understand where processes could fail and whether existing safeguards are proportionate. Macliff's profile identifies risk assessments, internal control reviews, compliance work and procedure development among its advisory capabilities.
A review may focus on one process, such as procurement or payments, or examine connected risks across an organization. The work is designed around the client's objectives and does not assume that more controls are always better.
Areas of support
01
Risk assessment
Identify the events and process weaknesses that could affect reporting, operations, compliance or the protection of assets.
02
Control design and operation
Map important approvals, reconciliations and oversight steps, then assess whether they address the identified risks.
03
Compliance and process review
Compare practice with documented procedures or agreed requirements and identify gaps or duplicated effort.
04
Practical control improvement
Prioritize recommendations, ownership and follow-up actions that fit the organization's size and capacity.
Our approach
Technical work, clearly explained.
We examine how work is done, assess the design and operation of controls, and prioritize changes that are practical to implement.
When this support is useful
- A board or management team wants a clearer risk picture
- Repeated errors, delays or exceptions point to process weakness
- New systems or organizational changes require control redesign
What an engagement may deliver
- A risk and control findings report
- A prioritized set of recommendations
- Clearer responsibilities for control ownership and follow-up
