‘For all the opportunities technology brings to organisations, it can bring just as many risks’
Audit Yorkshire is aware that organisations are increasingly becoming digital, they need assurance in their technology to mitigate risk. Organisations can use data and technology to help decision making and help create organisational value.
Audit Yorkshire has dedicated IT professionals with the skills and experience to understand your technology and data risks. Our IT professionals are proficient and knowledgeable and regularly attend training to stay on top of the latest technology developments.
While each of our approaches are tailored to meet a client’s individual needs, all our services are characterised by working closely and providing support from the beginning to the very end of a project.
Assurance and Advisory
IT Infrastructure – We can provide assurance to drive improvements in the following areas:
Data and Analytics
Audit Yorkshire Data Analysis experts deploy automated tools to provide in-depth investigation into a client’s systems and data allowing us to better understand the client and their risks.
Through our use of specialist software, we can offer data analytics to our clients either through our audit work or as a bespoke piece of work. The use of specialist software enables us to analyse the whole data set population rather than sample testing and understand the reasons for any outliers or anomalies. It allows us to add value by identifying potential areas that may save the client money, provide extra income, spot avoidable costs and detect data quality issues that might impact on patient care and highlight these to the client.
We have developed a range of standard audit tests for those audits that are undertaken on a regular basis, such as key financial systems. Our use of data analytics is not confined to financial systems; we explore using analytics for many other areas including but not limited to waiting list management, analysis of risk registers. We continue to look to grow and expand this area of our work and develop new and refresh our existing testing scripts on a regular basis.
Cyber
As organisations become more dependent on technology this increases exposure to cyber threats. We can provide Cyber security reviews, Penetration testing, Mock phishing exercises and Cyber Essentials preparedness.
We are also able to assist with bespoke pieces of work. If you would like to discuss this further please contact yhs-tr.audityorkshire@nhs.net
