Audits & Readiness

Y1’s tried and tested Audits and Readiness Assessments help businesses establish the Status Quo and Unlock Potential

An Audit allows for a thorough Analysis of Internal Processes, to identify risks or see how you measure up against competitors.

Our audits can be tailored to your specific requirements and challenges. An Audit or Readiness Assessment is often the starting point for initiatives that could not previously be reliably mapped using risk figures from business cases or even change roadmaps.

“Audits are not only useful for uncovering weaknesses, they also offer the opportunity to make good things better.”

Benefits:

Evaluation of Strengths and Weaknesses
Identification of Risks
Compliance Assurance
Process Quality Improvement
