ASSESSMENTS
Assessments differ from Mock Audits in that they focus on the preparation for an actual audit without the in-depth analysis of the details that might disclose a non-compliance issue. They are designed to walk you through the process preparing for an audit including thinking through an Information Request, determining the information that will need to be disclosed, and identifying the personnel responsible for collecting, preparing, and presenting that information. Assessments offer the benefit of enhanced efficiency and effectiveness in your response to an actual audit. Personnel who deal directly with auditors appreciate the benefits because it is their time and reputations that are at risk during an actual audit.
