Systems audit

See Clearly Where Your Systems Are Exposed

Your organisation runs on its processes, controls and systems. We review them independently, show you where the risks and inefficiencies are, and give you a clear, practical plan to fix them before they become costly.

Warning signs

When It Is Time for a Systems Audit

Most problems in systems and controls stay hidden until something goes wrong. If any of these sound familiar, an independent review will tell you where you stand.

  • Numbers you cannot fully trust

    Reports do not match, reconciliations take too long and nobody is sure which figure is right.

  • Growth without controls

    The business has grown, but approvals, checks and segregation of duties have not kept up.

  • Work that depends on a few people

    Key tasks live in someone’s head or inbox, and everything stops when they are away.

  • Systems that no longer fit

    Software and spreadsheets were added over time, and now they overlap, break or leave data exposed.

  • A loss, fraud or near miss

    Something has already slipped through, and you need to know how and whether it could happen again.

  • A regulator, investor or lender is asking questions

    You need evidence that your controls and governance are sound.

Finding these issues early costs far less than dealing with the consequences later.

What we review

Our Systems Audit Services

Each audit is scoped to your organisation, your risks and the questions you need answered. You can start with one area or review several together.

Internal Controls Review

Controls protect your assets, your data and the quality of your decisions. We test how well yours are designed and whether they work in practice, not just on paper.

What we review

  • Approval limits and authorisation processes
  • Segregation of duties
  • Cash, payments and procurement controls
  • Asset and inventory controls
  • Reconciliations and financial reporting checks
  • Fraud risk and how it is prevented and detected

Ideal for: growing businesses formalising their controls, and organisations that have had a loss, error or audit finding.

Process & Operations Audit

How work is meant to happen and how it actually happens are often different. We trace your key processes from start to finish and pinpoint the delays, duplication and weak points that cost you time and money.

What we review

  • End-to-end mapping of key processes
  • Bottlenecks, rework and duplicated effort
  • Roles, handovers and accountability
  • Policies and procedures against actual practice
  • Turnaround times and service levels
  • Quick wins and longer-term improvements

Ideal for: organisations with slow operations, rising costs or inconsistent service, and those preparing to automate or restructure.

  • Information security and data protection practices
  • How well systems fit your processes and talk to each other
  • Software licences, vendors and support arrangements

Governance & Compliance Review

Good governance gives boards, investors and regulators confidence. We check your structures, policies and practices against regulatory and industry requirements and show you where to strengthen them.

What we review

  • Board and management structures and reporting lines
  • Policies, delegated authority and decision-making
  • Regulatory and industry compliance obligations
  • Risk management framework and risk register
  • Documentation and record keeping
  • Readiness for external audits, inspections or due diligence

The report

Findings You Can Act On

An audit is only useful if it leads to action. Our reports are written for decision-makers, not just auditors.

  • Rated by risk

    Every finding is rated high, medium or low, so you know what to fix first.

  • Root causes, not only symptoms

    We explain why each issue happens, so the fix lasts.

  • Practical recommendations

    Clear actions, owners and timelines that fit your size and resources.

  • A summary for leadership

    A short overview for the board or management alongside the detailed findings.

  • Independent and confidential

    An objective view, handled with strict confidentiality.

The JoDyn advantage

From Findings to Fixes

Many audits end with a list of problems. Because JoDyn offers advisory and training as well, we can help you fix what the audit finds: redesigning a process, writing the policies that were missing or training your team on the new controls.

For example

A controls review that finds weak approval processes can be followed by a new delegation of authority framework and a short workshop for the managers who use it.
