After the audit
After the audit we can provide you with a report summarising the audit and its outcome and setting out our recommendations for any improvements. We can then carry out any additional work that may be required to implement our recommendations. We would be happy to follow up with you around 3 - 6 months later to ensure the recommendations have been put in place.
Pricing
We can offer an agreed fixed fee for our Spring clean audit service. The pricing varies depending on what you wish for us to cover and the volume of documentation for our review. We would be happy to attend your offices for a full or half day on a date of your choosing and your requirements.
If after the audit you would like us to undertake any further work, we can offer a fixed fee quote for this.
