Readiness Assessment
Pre-audit check of controls, evidence and interview readiness.
What it is
A readiness assessment simulates the audit before it happens: testing whether controls operate, evidence exists and owners can explain them. It finds the embarrassing gaps while there is still time to fix them — typically weeks before a certification or assurance engagement.
