Assignment

Process and outcome
Steve provided advice on the factors and practical guidelines to consider in determining whether general purpose financial reports were required and provided a solution to satisfy the information needs of users of the financial report.
Assignment
Engaged to review the retail operations of a client to report on the efficiency and effectiveness of the financial systems and controls.
Process and outcome
A full review of the operations of the retail outlet was conducted and all supporting accounting systems and processes were identified. These were then assessed for efficiency and effectiveness in achieving their objectives. Recommendations were made that reduced costs and inefficiencies leading to improved profitability.
Assignment
Reviewed the costing process applied as part of a service agreement.
Process and outcome
An independent review was conducted of the identification of costs, the cost drivers and allocation of those costs to the services provided. This led to the client being able to determine appropriate charges for its services and for negotiation of these charges under the service agreement.
Assignment
Engaged to write an internal audit compliance program.
Process and outcome
This involved identifying the compliance requirements faced by an organisation in a heavily regulated industry. Advice was then provided on appropriate internal audit procedures to test compliance with these requirements and on reporting to the appropriate level of governance to allow for effective monitoring and reporting of compliance issues to regulators.
Assignment
Performed a due diligence review for a business acquisition.
Process and outcome
A client was seeking to acquire a business to vertically integrate the supply of its service. As part of the due diligence, areas of concern were identified in the strategic operation of the business being acquired. This led to the client avoiding a costly acquisition that would have resulted in losses.
