AJC Services

We pride ourselves on providing a diverse array of tailored technical audit capabilities crafted specifically to meet our clients’ unique needs. Our approach involves conducting thorough second or third-line reviews, aligned with an agreed-upon scope, and closely collaborating with internal teams.

Engaging in an external review process often unveils valuable insights that might otherwise remain unnoticed within internal assessments. Such reviews are instrumental in pinpointing potential gaps or revealing alternative, more beneficial approaches that might have been overlooked internally. These external evaluations serve as a worthwhile supplement to internal assessments, enriching the overall understanding and fortifying the quality of the audit.

Example project requirements

While these reviews are typically executed as individual, one-off projects, we also seamlessly integrate ourselves as second-line reviewers within a broader programme of work for our clients. This approach allows for ongoing support and a comprehensive overview of the audit process, ensuring consistency and depth in our evaluations.
Example project requirements might include:

Review of current standard compliance ie ISO 27001/22301/14001/9001/45001, where a second line review is required ahead of a Certified Accreditation Body audit for re-accreditation, or where there has been turn-over in the internal teams with resulting knowledge loss.
Post-project reviews to assess project completion and review whether all the objectives have been achieved.
Best practice reviews, for processes or technical systems.
Capability evaluations as input into project or financial year planning processes.

End to end audit of fraud processes

We can also conduct end to end audit of fraud processes including: fraud risk assessments and identification of vulnerabilities, weaknesses and enablers that facilitate fraud; and guidance on implementing 1st, 2nd and 3rd lines of defence to ensure compliance with regulatory expectations and providing an effective fraud programme.
