Conducting a cost-benefit analysis involves comparing the expenses incurred through audits to the potential recoveries obtained, an essential step for budgeting audit services.
Costs include service fees and implementation resources, weighed against recovery amounts and improved process efficiencies for determining audit viability.
Immediate recoveries usually offset audit costs, while improved processes offer long-term savings by preventing future financial errors.
Still debating the value? Consider the increased financial visibility gained and the strategic insights that inform better financial decision-making long after the audit concludes.
