Rebuilding internal audit for a multi-location group
- Challenge
- Audit cycles consumed months of effort yet the same procurement and inventory findings recurred at every plant each year.
- Solution
- We redesigned the audit plan on a risk-weighted basis, moved remediation ownership to process design level and instituted delayed re-testing.
- Result
- Findings closed at design level rather than through added manual checks, with a measurable drop in repeats.
