While operational audits are not legally mandated, they support compliance with the Kenyan Code of Corporate Governance Practices, which encourages organizations to ensure efficient use of resources. For donor-funded organizations, operational efficiency is often a donor requirement, and operational audits demonstrate responsible resource management.

What is an operational audit and how is it different from a financial audit?
A financial audit focuses on the accuracy of financial statements. An operational audit focuses on the efficiency, effectiveness, and economy of business operations. While a financial audit asks "are the numbers right?", an operational audit asks "are we doing things in the most efficient and effective way?"
What areas of the business does an operational audit cover?
An operational audit can cover any business function — procurement, production, sales, customer service, HR, IT, or logistics. We focus on the areas that are most critical to your business performance and where improvement opportunities are greatest. The scope is tailored to your specific needs.
How can an operational audit save my business money?
By identifying waste, duplication, inefficient processes, and non-value-adding activities, an operational audit reveals where money is being lost. Our recommendations provide practical steps to eliminate waste, streamline processes, and optimize resource allocation — typically delivering cost savings that exceed the audit cost.
How long does an operational audit take?
The duration depends on the scope of the audit and the size of your organization. A focused operational audit of a specific function may take 2-3 weeks, while a comprehensive organization-wide audit may take 4-8 weeks. We provide a timeline estimate during the planning phase.
