What we do
Founded in 2014, our mission is to deliver excellent, value-for-money training, external quality assessments (EQAs), internal audit engagements and GRC-related advisory work at fair and affordable prices.
Our specialist areas include internal audit, governance, risk management and counter fraud.
Our lead expert, John Chesshire, has developed a reputation as a well-respected and insightful internal audit and risk management leader, expert, and trainer. Over the last 22 years, he has designed and delivered hundreds of tailored, cost effective and topical training courses, conference sessions, EQAs and consultancy engagements across the UK, Ireland, mainland Europe, the Middle East and South East Asia.
He regularly presents at conferences, delivers webinars and leads training events for over 20 Institutes of Internal Auditors globally, including the Chartered IIA in the UK and Ireland, and other wonderful IIA chapters including Albania, Armenia, Australia, Belgium, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Denmark, Greece, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Norway and Sweden.
In recent years John has delivered over 60 EQAs of internal audit teams in the UK, Ireland, and elsewhere across Europe. In these reviews he doesn't just deliver a view on conformance with standards; rather he strives to add value and support through identifying opportunities for further improvement and enhanced service delivery. It's much more about enhanced internal audit performance, rather than a simple tick in the box.
John's recent clients include FTSE-listed companies; multinationals; central and local government bodies across Europe; defence and law enforcement agencies; financial services companies; ACCA; CIPFA; NATO; CGIAR; the OECD; higher education institutions; professional services firms; and charities.
"John is an exceptional professional who has significantly contributed to IFAD's success through his technical expertise and training of over 350 staff members in risk, controls and anti-financial crime.
His ability to blend practical examples with technical knowledge, coupled with his diplomatic approach, makes him an invaluable practitioner.
His engaging and pleasant demeanour not only enhances the learning experience but also makes him a delight to work with and learn from."
Comptroller/Director
"John recently completed the EQA of the Internal Audit function. This was a very positive experience where John communicated with us throughout a very thorough process. The review was completed effectively with the written report being issued in advance of agreed timescales.
Commissioning John to complete our EQA was an excellent use of resources and his significant experience in this sector resulted in a high value added output.
I would have no hesitation in recommending John."
Director of Assurance
"I've known John for several years, since doing my own IIA qualification.
His training is always fun, engaging, relevant and technically sound.
John delivered assurance mapping training for our global audit team over the course of a day. He was incredibly flexible on working with different time zones and adapting the training to the team's needs and specific work we were planning to deliver. The session was fun, interactive, and made technical concepts easy to understand and apply. I would highly recommend John's training."
