Technology & IT Advisory
IT governance, IT audit and technology risk management for organisations whose exposure is increasingly digital rather than purely financial.
Overview
When the systems fail, the numbers follow.
This covers systems and controls reviews, IT governance frameworks, and support responding to technology-related risk, including cybersecurity exposure.
Because the same team also performs assurance and forensic work, technology risk is assessed for what it means to the financial statements, to the control environment and to the organisation’s ability to investigate something later — not as an isolated IT exercise.

Where technology risk shows up
The exposure is rarely only technical.
Weak access controls become a fraud risk. Poor change management becomes a reporting risk. An unmonitored integration becomes a revenue leakage risk. We look at technology through the lens of what it can cost the organisation.
Access & segregation of duties
Who can do what, and who can do two things that should never combine.
Change management
How changes reach production, and who approved them.
Data integrity
Whether the reported figure can be traced back to the transaction.
Resilience & recovery
What actually happens when a system, a site or a supplier goes down.
