Independent evidence of remedial actions
Once you’ve implemented recommended improvements, we’ll conduct a follow-up review to independently verify the changes you have made and deliver a formal report on the scope and the effectiveness of your actions. This gives you documented proof you can share with your insurer, funder, or regulator confirming your progress.

Frequently asked questions
If you don’t find the answer to your question here, get in touch with us and we’ll be happy to help.
We’d usually recommend scheduling the follow-up audit around 6 months after the initial health check report is received, although this may vary depending on the scale and scope of our recommendations. If you require more time to implement the changes advised, it makes sense to book the audit later – although we advise firms to address our recommendations as promptly as possible after the initial report so as not to lose momentum or focus.
If you have already booked in a follow-up audit, but as the date approaches, realise that you will not have had time to implement all the changes originally advised, you can either choose to reschedule the audit with appropriate notice, or we can proceed with the follow-up, focusing on the progress you have managed to make. The best approach is to get in touch with us as early as possible, and we’ll advise which option adds most value depending on where you are in the process.
Think of it like a more focused, more targeted audit that is linked to the specific risks and recommendations identified in the original report – rather than a broad assessment. In that sense, the scope is smaller, and the process is quicker and more cost-effective. The follow-up audit is carried out with the same rigour and quality standards as a full health check; it’s just more precise in the areas it covers.
No, the output is a detailed progress report that goes beyond a simple pass/fail distinction. The report provides the granular detail that stakeholders such as insurers need – an updated risk rating, independent verification of improvements implemented since the previous health check, and a revised compliance roadmap outlining any planned changes. The aim is to give you documented proof of your progress in mitigating previously identified risks.
Internal verification is good practice, but independent verification is what provides true assurance to external parties. Having an expert third party confirm that your changes are not only implemented but are also effective in practice carries significant weight with insurers, regulators, and potential investors. It moves your position from "we think we've fixed it" to "it has been independently proven that we've fixed it."
