100+ location audit uplift
ISO 45001-aligned audits across a large portfolio improved consistency and reduced repeat findings through better corrective action discipline.
Service
Audit & Assurance
Definition: Audit and assurance programmes provide risk-based internal audits, contractor sampling and corrective action tracking — assurance that improves the system, not paperwork theatre.
Risk-based audit programmes across locations and supply chains. Findings become priorities. Contractor assurance, inductions and corrective action tracking stop the same issues returning.
The problem we solve
Audit schedules exist, yet the same findings repeat. Contractors are approved once and never rechecked. Boards receive activity metrics instead of assurance.
Who it is for
Property, FM and multi-site operators, client-facing service providers and teams preparing for ISO or major customer audits.
Scope
What we deliver
- Risk-based internal audit programme design and delivery
- Contractor / supplier HSE assurance and accreditation reviews
- Compliance audits against ISO, legal registers and client standards
- Corrective action tracking design and effectiveness verification
- Board and client reporting packs that show risk, not vanity metrics
Method
How we work
01
Build the assurance map
Sites, contractors and processes are scored by risk and client criticality.
02
Audit with intent
We sample for reality — conversations, observations and records — not checklist theatre.
03
Prioritise ruthlessly
Findings are ranked; owners and deadlines are unambiguous.
04
Verify closure
We check effectiveness, not just “action completed” ticks.

Examples
How this looks in practice
Mobile audit platform effect
In a large multi-site environment, digital audit completion and visibility improved dramatically when process design and leadership follow-up were fixed together.
UK context — Assurance supports UK “suitable and sufficient” risk control and client/SSIP-style evidence expectations without reducing audit to a paperwork race.
