Readiness review
A mock review of the areas in scope, so weak spots are fixed before the examiners arrive.
Service offering
Audit and exam readiness
Examinations and audits met with organised evidence, briefed people and a clear plan for findings.
We prepare you for internal audits and regulatory examinations, such as CBUAE or SAMA examinations of financial institutions: a readiness review, a request tracker, coordinated evidence and briefed interviewees. Findings are then tracked to closure, with management responses the regulator can follow.
Firms in the UAE's financial free zones may also face DFSA or FSRA reviews, and listed companies in Saudi Arabia face Capital Market Authority requirements, so the tracker can hold several regulators' requests at once.
What the engagement covers
Request coordination
One tracker for examiner requests, owners and deadlines, with evidence checked before it is sent.
Remediation tracking
Findings, management responses and closure evidence tracked and reported to the audit committee.
Proportionate controls
Controls sized to the risk, so effort goes where exposure is highest.
Owned by the business
Each control and policy has a named owner outside the GRC team.
When exam readiness support helps
It helps most when an examination is announced and evidence is spread across teams.
- An examination or audit date has been set.
- Findings from the last review are still open.
- Examiner requests are tracked in email.
