WELCOME TO INTISAA

Advise, Audit, Assure

We originally formed in 2018, comprising leaders from Top 10 Firms and specialists from the world of finance, counter fraud, and the public sector, to offer an incisive, impactful business assurance service.  We focus on the quality of our outputs and being there for our clients, not how many hours we can bill!.  We can do this because, by virtue of our agile business model, we are not distracted by how to recover our overhead costs (these are low), nor by the pressures to meet arbitrary internal targets. 

Competitive pricing

Pragmatic advice and solutions

Innovative, engaging approach

Experience, expertise, empathy

Strategic Objective

We specialise in providing high quality assurance and advisory services to the not-for-profit sector and non-government organisations. This “high quality” is a key strategic objective, and we achieve this by:

using only experienced personnel who, as well as knowing how to audit effectively and efficiently, with minimum disruption to our clients’ personnel, can also work with management and staff to impart real-time knowledge and advice; 

build constructive and enduring relationships with staff at all levels; and

Looking at our clients' systems and arrangements through a wider, multi sector lens – this will ensure that we cast a critical, unfettered eye over your business, drawing upon wider best practices and our extensive cumulative knowledge, to provide an informed, rounded  set of  workable recommendations for improvements.

OUR VALUES

OUR VALUES

OUR VALUES

Reliable

You can count on us to be there, provide the right support at the right price. We can respond at pace to meet emerging and actual challenges and needs. No “ifs” no “buts” - we always do what we say and deliver what you need.

Resilient

We are at our best when our clients are under pressure and need support fast. We feel your pain, empathise and act as a calming influence whilst working at pace and collaboratively to get the job done for you.

Engaging

Our approach is often described as “not what we expected”, “refreshing”, “honest” and even at times “enjoyable”. We share our knowledge and experiences openly, and treat all client staff, regardless of their station, with the same respect and courtesy.

Attentive

Audit means “ to listen”. And that’s exactly how we go about our business. We place a premium on regular conversation and “coffee chats” rather than “meetings” and “interviews”. The result – we gain a deep understanding of what makes clients tick, enabling us to provide a bespoke service.
