Strong controls and audit readiness improve confidence before an external assurance engagement begins.
External audit readiness & coordination
Preparation of schedules, reconciliations, evidence and issue trackers, with practical coordination for an appropriately appointed external auditor.
Internal audit support
Risk-based review support focused on processes, controls, records and operational compliance, structured around the governance arrangements of the organisation.
Agreed-upon procedures preparation
Preparation and evidence support for defined procedures relating to specific information, balances, transactions or controls, where the formal engagement is performed by the appropriately authorised practitioner.
Internal control review
Assessment of approval, reconciliation, segregation, documentation and monitoring controls.
Audit readiness
Preparation of schedules, reconciliations, evidence packs and issue logs before an external review.
Assurance & governance support
Targeted review work that helps management, boards or stakeholders understand reliability, control gaps and follow-up actions.
What the engagement should achieve
More credible information. Better control. Clearer accountability.
Stakeholders have a clearer basis for relying on the information or process reviewed.
Weaknesses, exceptions and improvement areas are identified with practical follow-up points.
Records and supporting evidence are better organised for audit, regulatory or investor review.
Responsibilities and unresolved issues are documented rather than left informal.
Typical engagements
Assurance work can be broad or tightly defined.
Where a statutory audit or other reserved assurance opinion is required, the engagement must be undertaken and signed by an appropriately registered audit or assurance firm and professional in accordance with applicable FRC and professional-body requirements. ADETAI confirms the responsible professional and engagement structure before any such work begins.
