When we can help
Assurance and targeted reviews give leaders a focused view of a defined area, without broadening the work beyond the decisions at hand.
- 01Leadership needs confidence in a particular risk area.
- 02Controls exist on paper but their operation is uncertain.
- 03A known issue requires a focused review.
- 04Remediation needs an evidence-based assessment.
FOCUSED ASSURANCE
What we deliver
The review criteria, evidence needs and reporting approach are made clear before assessment begins.
The outputs are examples. This is assurance and targeted review work—not statutory audit or a formal outsourced internal audit function.
Independence is considered when we agree the engagement, particularly where Invenire Risk has helped design the arrangements being reviewed. We will make any relevant roles and limitations clear.
- A defined scope, review criteria and evidence requirements.
- Assessment of control design and operation within the agreed scope.
- Thematic reviews of selected non-financial risk areas.
- Findings supported by evidence.
- Prioritised recommendations and action planning.
- Follow-up review where agreed.
HOW WE WORK
A clear line from evidence to action.
The review remains bounded, transparent and centred on the agreed criteria.
- ScopeAgree the review question, boundaries, criteria and independence considerations.
- GatherRequest and examine the relevant evidence, records and explanations.
- AssessEvaluate control design and operation within the agreed scope.
- DiscussTest factual accuracy and context with the people responsible.
- FinalisePresent supported findings, priorities and recommendations.
Connect the review to relevant records.
Where supported and included in the engagement, Sapere can provide context through relevant risk records, owners and linked controls. Findings and review work are not presented as a dedicated audit-management capability.
