Track closure of agreed audit findings, focusing on verification of completion rather than remediation execution.

Produce objective, evidence-based assurance reports highlighting control failures, loss exposure, and compliance gaps.

Escalate critical risk matters based on verified facts, without assuming operational accountability.

Participate in physical stock counts and variance investigations to validate reported production and inventory accuracy.

Perform independent verification of weighbridge data, raw-material usage, finished-goods movements, and shrinkage.
