Compliance
Audit
An independent examination of how well your operations conform to the laws, regulations, contracts, and internal policies that bind them.
What does a compliance audit check?
Whether you actually operate the way the rules require, in practice.
You choose the frame: labour legislation, licence conditions, a grant or donor agreement, or your own internal policy. We test documents, records and real practice against that frame, and rank every gap by risk. It is entirely separate work from the statutory audit, which gives an opinion on financial statements.
Built for teams
like yours.
- Companies in regulated or licensed activities
- Recipients of grants or donor funding with usage conditions
- Businesses bound by demanding contractual obligations
- Boards that want assurance policy is followed, not just published
If one of these is you, it is worth a conversation.

How it
works.
-
Define
The applicable rulebook is mapped: laws, regulations, contracts, policies.
-
Examine
Practice is tested against requirement — documents, interviews, walkthroughs.
-
Report
Gaps are registered, risk-ranked, and explained without euphemism.
-
Verify
After remediation, we re-test and confirm closure in writing.
3 reasons to choose us.
Finding the gap is half the job: the report also writes down who closes it, and by when.
-
Every finding is risk-ranked, with an owner and a deadline.
Management sees from a single list what is urgent and what is planned work. An unranked list of gaps does not make a decision — it just creates anxiety.
-
After remediation we come back and confirm closure in writing.
What remains is a document you can show an inspector, a donor or a partner. In many cases that is worth more than the first report was.
-
You choose the frame; we read all of it.
Labour law, licence conditions, a grant agreement or internal policy. A narrow focus is an advantage: an audit aimed at one area moves fast and its findings are concrete.
Asked &
answered.
A statutory audit gives an opinion on financial statements. A compliance audit examines conduct against rules — financial or not. Many clients need both; they answer different questions.
Yes. Compliance audits are commonly scoped to a single regime — labour law, licensing conditions, a donor agreement — which keeps them fast and the findings actionable.
Entirely. The report is addressed to you alone, and confidentiality is one of the written commitments of our quality policy. What you do with the findings is your decision.
The most common are labour law, licence conditions, grant and donor requirements, and contractual obligations. You choose the framework; we test your practice against it.
It is not mandatory, but it helps: a compliance audit puts the system through a rehearsal before the certification audit. We run it in coordination with our ISO practice, so you know the requirements in advance.
