Consulting services are advisory in nature and are generally performed at the specific request of management—the objectives and types of work performed will be collaboratively determined with management. Examples include:

• Reviewing client-prepared responses to external audit reports;
• Training on fraud prevention, internal controls, and risk assessment processes;
• Analyzing client or third-party prepared data; and
• Scribing client-facilitated risk assessment exercises.

The way in which such services are performed is generally agreed with management before work starts, although the process often follows that described elsewhere on this website for Audits.

In an effort to continually improve our service to management and to the Components, we may also request completion of a customer satisfaction survey upon completion of consulting services engagements.
