Audit Universe & Risk Register Build
A facilitated build of the foundations every plan stands on.
A facilitated workshop programme that populates your risk-ranked audit universe and enterprise risk register inside AuditPro Core — the inputs that drive the three-year strategic plan, the annual audit plan and the combined-assurance map.
Facilitated workshops · 2–4 weeks

Why it matters
The plan is only as good as the universe and register beneath it.
Risk-based auditing begins with two artefacts: a complete audit universe and a live risk register. Get them right and the annual plan writes itself — effort flows to where exposure is highest. Get them wrong, or never build them properly, and audit work scatters across low-value areas while the real risks go untested year after year.
Most entities have a register that is either stale, copied from a template, or sitting in a spreadsheet nobody owns. A facilitated build fixes that by getting management in a room to surface what genuinely threatens objectives — then capturing it directly in AuditPro Core, where it stays live rather than dying in a document.
Because the universe and register feed the combined-assurance map and the predictive model, building them well pays off across the whole platform — not just at planning time.

FAQ
Questions entities ask before they engage.
Who needs to be in the workshops?
Process and risk owners across the entity — typically directorate heads plus finance, SCM and IT. Their input is what makes the universe complete and the register credible.
Do you bring a template or build from scratch?
We bring a public-sector reference universe to accelerate the work, then tailor every unit and risk to your entity. The output is yours, not a generic list.
How does this connect to the rest of the platform?
The universe and register live inside AuditPro Core, so they immediately drive the annual plan, the combined-assurance heat-map and the predictive model — no re-keying.
