Auditing is an on-site verification operation, such as an inspection or examination, that can be done at any resolution. An audit can be conducted on a company’s department, process, or specific project or initiative, to ensure compliance both internally and externally. Usually, the subject of an audit is compared to well-known standards (like ISO, local laws, and regulations), while our Next Generation Auditing practice masters a tailor-maid audit when no standard exists.
We at Herzog Strategic (HS), take the extra step with our client to define the desired areas for inspection and to determine the relevant comparable measures, while considering the client’s own procedures or methods, best practices, competitor comparison, non-legally binding standards, and academic resources.
For whom?
Any organization looking to improve or supervise a specific area, process, or product. The HS team can help organizations illuminate their current posture, while creating the required framework and relevant measures for comparison. This can be done through either leveraging the HS team’s vast experience in working as an external audit provider, or blending seamlessly into an organization’s existing audit department.
Why?
“You can’t improve what you don’t measure.” An audit is important for every organization as it sheds a light on the performance of the inspected subject. By engaging with an external auditor, your audit can be completed in a timely, effective, and tailored manner, while maintaining your guidelines and procedures.
How?
We will start by defining the unique needs of your organization to be achieved by the audit. Next, we will gather all relevant data, conduct interviews with key personnel, and dive deep into your processes and procedures to generate findings and recommendations for improvement.
