Is delivery on track?
Evaluate objectives, milestones, dependencies, resourcing, risks, and whether reporting reflects the actual state of work.
04 / TARGETED ASSURANCE
A focused review
for a specific concern.
Independent insight on the department, project, or workstream where leadership needs a clearer view of delivery, governance, performance, or risk.
RIGHT-SIZED ENGAGEMENTS
Get to the issue
that matters.
A targeted review can stand alone or feed into a broader assurance plan. Scope follows the question—not a one-size checklist.
Are decisions working?
Review accountability, approvals, escalation, issue management, and the clarity of oversight.
Are expectations clear?
Consider deliverables, acceptance evidence, change control, dependencies, and vendor performance oversight.
What should happen next?
Assess a troubled or delayed initiative, identify root concerns, and lay out decision options for leadership.
Do tools support the work?
Review how a department's systems, information flows, and controls support operational and financial objectives.
Where are the gaps?
Examine selected processes, control design, evidence, ownership, and follow-through in a defined area.
SCOPE WITH INTENT
One question can
change the review.
We start by understanding the decision leadership needs to make. Then we agree boundaries, evidence, interviews, timeline, and a practical way to communicate observations.
