THE PROBLEM

Do you recognize yourself in any of these situations?

In most SMEs, controls do exist — but they rely on habits, not on a system. Here are a few signs that don't lie.

Your teams conduct checks, but no one really knows why or how to formalize them.

The same person orders, receives, and pays the supplier — without cross-validation.

Your system relies on trust. It has never been tested or updated.

Anyone can approve an expense, regardless of the amount.

THE MISSION

What happens in practice, step by step.

1

Assessment & scoping

TOGETHER

Together, we define the scope of the intervention — by process, by risk, or by specific need. I identify key personnel, conduct interviews with the teams to understand where things stand, and review the existing documentation. The mission begins with a kick-off: a short session to explain what internal control is and what is going to happen — so that everyone is aligned before we start.

System design

SEIDŌ

I map the identified risks against the controls already in place to pinpoint the exact gap areas. For each gap, I define a corrective control — tailored to your size, your tools, and the reality of your teams. The result: a comprehensive RCM (Risk Control Matrix) per covered process, prioritized by criticality.

Training & Implementation

TOGETHER

Teams are trained on the controls to be implemented — why this control exists, what risk it covers, what happens if it is not done. I provide a detailed, actionable remediation plan. The client is responsible for drafting or updating their internal procedures — my role is to define what needs to be done and to ensure it is understood.

Wrap-up & feedback

SEIDŌ

Closing meeting with management. I deliver the finalized MCRs, the prioritized correction plan, and the control tracking tool. The mission ends when you have everything in your hands to keep the system running without me.

FOR WHOM

This service is for you if...

IT'S FOR YOU

You do not have a formalized ICS system.

You have just completed an audit and have recommendations to implement.

You are preparing for a fundraising, a sale, or an external audit.

You want to delegate without losing control.

IT'S NOT FOR YOU (YET)

You have not yet identified your priority risk areas.

You don't know where to start.

No diagnosis yet?

Before monitoring a system, you need to know where you stand. The Express Audit or the In-Depth Audit is the right starting point.

AND AFTER THE MISSION?

An internal control system is not a deliverable, it is a practice. Once the framework is set, it either lives or erodes depending on who is running it.

You can also maintain it internally: that is the goal, the system is designed for that. The Residency is only useful if you want to keep an external perspective over time.

In-Residence Audit

A recurring checkpoint that keeps the system alive and catches drifts before they become costly.
