Controls Advisor offers a competitive edge and affordable solutions in Audit, Pre-Audit Preparation, & Post-Audit activities such as:
Internal Audit (IT) services and certifications for businesses specializing in Finance/Accounting, GLBA, PCI, SOX, and HIPAA reviews.
We offer low-cost alternatives, for the same work by certified auditors, offered by larger CPA firms. See our services related to SSAE 16 and lower cost Audit READY
IT service vendor certification.
Pre-Audit Preparation & Documentation - Management assertion letters, compliance surveys, and/or narratives for PCI & SSAE 16, Business Continuity / Technical Disaster Recovery planning/testing, Policy&Procedure development, Risk Assessment, Penetration Testing, Implementation & Documentation of Internal Controls, Penetration Testing.
- We give reasonable assurance to business management that appropriate procedures are routinely carried out by I.T. staff, end-users of systems, and business management. We also ensure all required documentation is available for auditors so that there will be no significant issues found.
- When we find issues in documentation or procedures, prior to the start of an audit, we help create missing documentation or implement procedures that should satisfy internal or external auditors. When auditors arrive, we can act as liaison between I.T. staff, business management/audit committee, and auditors, protecting business management from having audit findings on their final audit report.
- Audit Liaison and Post Audit Remediation Project Management: Creates efficiencies so management & staff can limit their interaction directly with auditors during on-site testing.
- Post Audit, management gain assurance that issues are eliminated properly with auditors' oversight. We manage changes and oversee projects related to enhancing the controls environment.
Top 5 reasons to choose from our network of seasoned, independent audit consultants to prepare your company for regulators and external auditors:
- Audit consultants are generally 25% to 40% less costly than management consulting, CPA, or external audit firms. Hourly rates typically range between $65 and $85 per hour, depending on job location, start-date, and length of the engagement. Fees can also be quoted as a flat rate for on-going work.
- Our experience within management consulting, CPA, external audit, and internal audit organizations allows us to offer you the same skill level you would find in larger firms. We hold the same certifications as larger firms. In fact, we are often contracted through larger management consulting or CPA firms, acting as their staff on their clients’ projects. So, you could contract us through the larger, more expensive firms or contract us independently, at a much lower rate, getting the same quality of work in either scenario.
- Our consultants gain a deeper understanding of our clients’ business processes, in less time, because they also have real-world business experience in non-audit lines of business (accounting, Information Technology, Human Resources, Sales/Marketing, etc) and throughout various industries and multinational Fortune 100 companies.
- Varied departmental and industry experience also allows us to offer the best point of view for identifying and prioritizing your specific risks and key controls and offer the most logical advice for remediation of your issues.
- Contracting our independent audit consultants will offer you a chance to educate yourself and gain individual attention, with a fair amount of hand-holding through potentially difficult and time-consuming processes related to audit. Independent audit consultants will give you back the time your need for your day to day tasks while resting assured the upcoming audit will be problem free.
