Engagement Options
Monthly Advisory Support
Ongoing support against an agreed scope and level of service.
Quarterly Advisory Support
Periodic audit, risk or governance support aligned with reporting and oversight requirements.
Specialist or Project Support
Focused support for a defined issue, review or period..
Independence and Objectivity
Managed advisory services are provided as advisory engagements. Management and governance structures retain responsibility for decisions and implementation.
Where Muzamani provides advice on the design of a policy, control or framework, it will not subsequently provide independent assurance over the same area where this would create an unacceptable self-review threat. Any assurance engagement is separately scoped and subject to appropriate independence safeguards.
Who We Support
Managed advisory services are particularly suitable for:
- Organisations with limited internal audit, risk or GRC capacity
- Smaller functions requiring access to specialist expertise
- Organisations with recurring audit, risk or governance requirements
- Management and governance committees requiring periodic specialist support
- Organisations requiring additional capacity for a defined period
For public-sector organisations, engagements are structured around an agreed scope, deliverables and contract period and are subject to the organisation’s applicable procurement requirements.
Why Muzamani
Muzamani brings together experience across internal audit, IT audit, IT controls, risk management, governance, SCM and data analytics. This allows advisory issues to be considered from both a business and control perspective rather than in isolation.
