Best Contracts by Design

Audit

Best Contracts has designed an audit framework database to enable us to quickly identify how commercial relationships you have entered into contribute to the value for money of the services you offer. We have developed the framework through reviews of National Audit Office reports, the Magenta and Green Books, and our experience in developing business cases or conducting assessments.

  • Our Unique Offering
  • Our framework is quick and easy to implement, and it works on iPads, tablets, or mobile phones. It suggests questions that the auditor should consider and advises on what the auditor should look for in assessing compliance. It is not an exhaustive list; however, it is an excellent base level to which other specific, relevant study questions can be added.
  • The use of mobile technology provides us with an advantage. It allows a photograph to be taken as evidence of compliance or non-compliance, which is then automatically attached to the report. Thus, the reviewer can challenge the auditor’s interpretation of the actual evidence, as a copy is in front of them.
  • The audit framework is designed to help identify compliance with governance, contractual, and commercial relationships, making it particularly suitable for complex agreements. You can run comparison reports between various projects and identify good and poor practices within the same organisation to assist with rapid improvement.
