Auditors of the future

As the requirements of regulators and demand from stakeholders evolves, there is increasing focus on organisations’ non financial information as well as their financial performance. Reporting on areas such as Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG), cyber security, and operational resilience are playing a more important role in building stakeholder trust.

We deliver in-person training and also focus on your broader skills such as project management, negotiation and how to communicate with purpose.
