Co-Sourced Internal Audit
Our auditors, your platform, your engagements.
Experienced auditors who execute engagements inside your AuditPro Core tenant — augmenting your in-house function when capacity, specialist skills or a backlog put the approved audit plan at risk, with every working paper left in your system.

Why it matters
Deliver the approved plan even when capacity falls short.
Vacant CFO and Chief Audit Executive posts, scarce specialist skills and stubborn backlogs are among the most reliable predictors of a weak audit outcome — a pattern visible across the public sector and in AuditPro Core's own outcome screens. When the approved audit plan exceeds the capacity to deliver it, coverage drops and the risks that go untested are rarely the small ones.
Co-sourcing closes that gap without surrendering ownership. Our auditors work inside your tenant, to your methodology, under your CAE — adding hands and specialist skills for the engagements that need them. Crucially, the work stays in your system: working papers, findings and evidence build your institutional memory rather than leaving with a contractor's laptop.
It is the middle path between an over-stretched in-house team and fully outsourcing the function — you keep control and the audit record, and you get the plan delivered.

FAQ
Questions entities ask before they engage.
Do we lose control of our audit function?
No. Co-sourcing means our auditors work under your Chief Audit Executive's direction, to your methodology, inside your tenant. You retain ownership of the plan, the findings and the record.
Can you cover only specialist engagements?
Yes. Many entities use co-sourcing purely for IT audit, forensic or performance engagements where in-house skills are scarce, while keeping routine work in-house.
What happens to the working papers?
They stay in your AuditPro Core tenant. Unlike a traditional contractor, the evidence and institutional memory remain with you after the engagement closes.
