Finance Transformation Assurance Audit
Ensure Your Transformation Delivers Real Impact—Without Vendor Bias or Consulting Firm Agendas
Most finance transformation audits are led by firms with their own agendas—whether that’s selling technology, embedding consultants, or justifying sunk costs. At Ahqenza, we offer something different: independent, expert-led assurance focused solely on what’s best for your business.


An Executive Audit—Not a Sales Pitch
You don’t need another consultancy pushing a solution. You need strategic clarity—fast. Our audits are led by senior Chartered Accountants who’ve advised boards, managed £100M+ programmes, and seen firsthand where finance transformations succeed or fail.
Think of us like interior designers for your finance organisation. We don’t sell the tools—we design the blueprint. We evaluate all the options, bring in best-in-class strategies, and make sure every recommendation aligns with your goals, not someone else’s targets.
Our rapid, executive-level audit ensures your programme is on track—before costly delays, inefficiencies, or misalignment erode your ROI.
Whether your programme involves ERP/CRM implementations, shared services, offshoring, automation, or cost optimisation, we ensure you’re making the right decisions—not just following trends.
Is Your Finance Transformation Really on Track?

Unidentified Gaps
Small inefficiencies that snowball into major disruption
Internal Bias
In-house reviews that protect reputations over results
Strategic Drift
Programmes that deliver activity—but not value
Stakeholder Confidence Issues
Poor governance can erode trust fast
Vendor or Consultant Influence
Reviews shaped by those selling the solution

Why Regulators and External Auditors Trust Our Reviews
High-profile finance transformation programmes attract scrutiny—for good reason. Audit committees, regulators, and shareholders demand transparency, accountability, and demonstrable value.
📌 Our independent assurance audit gives the C-suite a clear, structured view of the programme’s risks, controls, and performance—supporting external auditors and preparing for regulatory reviews.
📌 Regulators expect transformation to deliver compliance, control, and strategic alignment. Our audits ensure you’re ready.
📌 Addressing risks proactively prevents escalations and reputational damage. Our work ensures compliance isn’t just a tick-box exercise—it becomes a value-driver.

A Strategic Partner—Not a Takeover
Too often, struggling transformation programmes resort to drastic steps—replacing teams, resetting leadership, or hiring major firms in desperation.

✔ We equip your teams—we don’t replace them.
✔ We empower your leaders to make smart decisions—not hand over control.
✔ We give you clarity—without creating dependency.
