Common questions
Can you work with our existing IT provider?
Yes. The audit identifies the workflow and control gaps; your provider can remain responsible for the IT changes they normally manage.
What is the single most important procedure?
Any change to payment instructions should be confirmed by phone using a number already on file, never a number supplied in the email.
