A disciplined engagement methodology

An agreed scope, risk-based plan, documented execution, then reporting and follow-up.

Five stages

Discipline at every stage

Understand the business and need, then agree the scope, outputs and timeline.

Identify significant areas and develop a risk-based work plan.

Perform procedures, gather evidence, analyze data and document results.

Internally review findings, then discuss them with management before finalization.

Issue clear deliverables and follow up on agreed actions.
