Delivering the audits that empower businesses
YOUR AUDIT NEEDS
Seeking efficiencies? Facing scrutiny? Struggling with compliance? Preparing for ISO certification? Audits shouldn’t be a headache—they should drive confidence, improvement, and decision making. IJB Audit and Assurance delivers sharp, independent internal audits and ISO 9001 assessments to help businesses navigate a number of complex challenges by providing clarity, assurance, and real solutions.
Enhance Efficiency. Strengthen Compliance. Mitigate Risks.
Management systems drive efficiency, compliance, and risk management—but without regular audits, they can become ineffective, outdated, or non-compliant. Our internal audits evaluate how well your existing policies, controls, and frameworks are functioning, ensuring businesses operate with clarity, accountability, and regulatory adherence.
✔ Operational & Resource Efficiency – Auditing process optimization, cost control, waste reduction, and procurement oversight
✔ Risk, Governance & Compliance – Assessing corporate governance, risk frameworks, business continuity, and compliance with industry regulations
✔ Workforce & Leadership Audits – Evaluating HR policies, employee training systems, performance management, and workplace culture
✔ Financial Integrity & Fraud Prevention – Reviewing financial controls, fraud risk management, and reporting accuracy
ABOUT US
My name is Imran Javaid Butt, Lead Auditor at IJB Audit & Assurance, and I specialise in Auditing 3.0—the next evolution of internal auditing that moves beyond compliance checks and risk identification to assess how effectively organisations manage risk and integrate controls into decision-making.
Audit 1.0 ensures compliance. Audit 2.0 identifies at-risk processes. Audit 3.0 takes it further—evaluating whether your risk management frameworks, governance structures, and controls are truly embedded, understood, and driving real business resilience.

But true assurance isn’t just about systems—it’s about the people behind them. That’s why we evaluate your organisation’s risk culture as part of every audit. We examine whether managers fully understand their roles in risk mitigation, risk appetite, and governance resilience—and, crucially, whether they act in alignment with your business’s risk objectives.
With over 20 years of experience and expertise spanning ISO 9001, ACCA, Corporate Psychology/UXD, Change Consulting, and Organisational Redesign, our team brings a people-centric, real-world approach to auditing. Every audit we conduct delivers not just insights, but understanding—revealing not just what is happening, but why.
Now that is what I call real Assurance.
THE AUDIT JOURNEY
A successful audit is more than a review—it is a structured, step-by-step process designed to uncover risks, enhance controls, and drive better decision-making. From our first meeting to delivering final recommendations, we ensure every stage is clear, efficient, and focused on delivering real value.
Here’s what to expect at each step and how we work with you to turn audit insights into business improvements.

Engagement
Work with you to define the audit's scope, objectives, and requirements, establishing a clear agreement on timeline, deliverables, resources and confidentiality.

Evaluate Findings & Evidence
Analyse findings to identify risks, inefficiencies, and gaps, assess non-conformities, and provide improvement recommendations based on objective evidence against the audit criteria.

Audit Planning
Develop a tailored audit plan, defining the criteria, methodology, and key focus areas while selecting auditors and coordinating with stakeholders.

Audit Reporting
Prepare a comprehensive report summarizing key observations, compliance gaps, and improvement opportunities, then discuss findings with leadership and stakeholders.

Conducting the Audit
Perform on-site or remote audits, gathering evidence through interviews, document reviews, and observations to evaluate processes against your criteria.

Follow-Up & Improvements
Support corrective actions, verify improvements through follow-up reviews, and provide ongoing guidance to maintain compliance, efficiency and enhance quality management.
WHAT WE AUDIT
Every organisation relies on strong financial, operational, and governance systems—but without regular audits, gaps can go unnoticed, risks can grow, and inefficiencies can hold you back. We assess the critical areas that drive your business, ensuring your processes are robust, compliant, and built for success.
Explore the key areas we audit and how they contribute to stronger decision-making, risk management, and business performance.
Gain control. Reduce risk. Maximise profits.
Weak financial controls, compliance failures, and fraud risks can expose businesses to regulatory penalties and financial instability. Our audits provide an independent assessment of your financial systems, internal controls, and regulatory adherence, ensuring policies are implemented effectively and risks are identified early.
✔ Financial Governance & Reporting – Verifying internal controls, fraud prevention, and financial reporting accuracy
✔ Payroll & Tax Compliance – Auditing salary processing, tax obligations, and employee benefit compliance
✔ Contract Compliance & Financial Risk – Assessing procurement contracts, vendor agreements, and fraud controls
✔ Budgeting & Cost Control – Evaluating financial forecasting, cost efficiency, and spending oversight
WHO WE AUDIT
From construction and manufacturing to finance and healthcare, we provide audits that help businesses strengthen compliance, streamline operations, and manage risk effectively. Every industry faces unique challenges—we bring the expertise to ensure your systems are not just compliant, but built for success.
Fortify Systems. Streamline Production. Maximise Output.
Manufacturing demands more than compliance — it demands adaptive systems, robust governance, and the ability to anticipate failure before it strikes. Internal audit in this sector ensures that supply chain risk, plant-floor controls, and ERP governance are not only compliant, but aligned with strategic priorities and operational realities. From MES breakdowns and HSE incidents to traceability gaps and ESG reporting, our assurance approach empowers manufacturing groups to harden resilience, surface hidden risks, and turn audit into a driver of performance.
✔ Plant-Floor Controls & Risk Culture - Auditing production environments, control users, and process deviations to test not just the presence of controls — but their lived resilience and risk alignment.
✔ Supply Chain & Procurement Governance - Evaluating supplier oversight, procurement logic, contract compliance, and buffer stock strategies to detect volatility, misalignment, or embedded fragility.
✔ ERP & MES Systems Assurance - Auditing ERP/MES workflows and integration breakdowns to ensure data governance, reporting integrity, and post-transformation control resilience.
✔ HSE & Operational Incident Analysis - Conducting post-failure audits of health, safety, and environmental controls to identify root causes, behavioural patterns, and mitigation failures.
✔ ESG, Compliance & Traceability - Testing compliance with REACH, trade laws, GDPR, and sustainability frameworks. Tracing material flows, data exposures, and reporting risks across multi-site operations.
