Their audit scope grew by 30% while the UK-based onshore team stayed the same size. This consulting firm leveraged our offshore team in India to deliver more comprehensive Internal Audit and SOX testing, exceeding client expectations without overloading their local staff.
UK: Expanding Audit Scope by 30% Without Adding Onshore Headcount
The Problem: The Onshore Resource Crunch
Expanding Internal Audit and SOX services often means hiring expensive onshore staff. This limits profitability and the ability to take on more extensive engagements, especially for clients with multi-jurisdiction operations.
The Solution: A Dedicated Offshore Audit Support Team
We provided a skilled offshore team in India to manage process documentation, controls testing, and initial report drafting. All work was completed under supervision, adhering to the firm’s onshore standards.
The Challenge: Maintaining Quality & Control
Ensuring the offshore team met rigorous methodologies while protecting data and maintaining communication was a key concern.
The Action: Seamless Integration with Onshore Workflow
Our team became an extension of the UK office. Using secure collaboration tools, following detailed audit programs, and implementing quality checks with regular reviews, we ensured alignment, accuracy, and full compliance with professional standards.
The Result: Enhanced Service Offerings & Profitability
The firm increased audit capacity, providing deeper insights and more comprehensive testing. Client satisfaction improved, and profitability rose by leveraging cost-effective offshore support without adding local headcount.
