Aligned Strategy, Optimized Impact

Using our Audit Value Maximizer (AVM) model, we help organizations design audit strategies and programs that align with business needs, boost consistency, and ensure audit activities drive real improvement.

Audit strategy isn’t a strategy without alignment.

Is your audit function truly supporting your business goals—or just ticking boxes? When strategy, tools, and resources are aligned, even the most complex food and beverage organizations can maximize the impact and value of their audits.

These services are for audit organizations or functions performing:

  • Supplier audits
  • Co-manufacturer audits
  • Internal plant audits
 

with full-time, part-time, and/or external auditors.

Whether you’re tackling inconsistencies across audits, refining audit tools, or seeking greater alignment between audit and business strategy, our AVM model helps you structure programs that deliver value where it matters most.

What We Focus On

Using the Audit Value Maximizer (AVM) model, we focus on three critical dimensions, with digitalization as a key enabler.

Audit Strategy & Performance

Ensure your audit program aligns with organizational objectives, risk priorities, and available resources.

Tools & Consistency

Optimize frameworks for governance and execution to build confidence, enable comparisons, and reduce subjectivity.

Adaptability & Optimization

Establish audit functions that are agile, business relevant, and ready for future challenges.

How we work

We work through a Plan-Do-Check-Act cycle, partnering closely with you during the planning phase to co-design the future state of your audit function.

Analyze

This step involves assessing the current audit landscape through document reviews, stakeholder interviews, and workshops. The objective is to identify audit function strengths, challenges, and opportunities while providing recommendations.

1

Report

Findings from the analysis phase are compiled and shared with stakeholders to ensure transparency, alignment, and validation of insights. This step establishes a shared understanding of the baseline.

2

Design the Future

Informed by the analysis and feedback, this phase focuses on co-creating the ideal future state of auditing. It includes visioning sessions, solution design, and stakeholder alignment to define success.

3

Roadmap

The roadmap translates strategic intent into actionable steps. It outlines timelines, responsibilities, and key initiatives required to move from the current to the future state. This phase ensures planning is realistic, prioritized, and aligned with organizational capabilities.

Case story: From Fragmented Checks to Strategic Insight

Through our unique AVM tool, we helped the audit functions evolve from well-intentioned but fragmented efforts into a cohesive, strategy-driven approach. Together, we assessed current practices, customized the framework, built alignment across teams, and reinforced new ways of working.

The result was a clear understanding of both improvement areas and existing strengths— insights that later shaped a practical, long-term roadmap for the audit function. By applying the AVM model, the organizations moved beyond routine checks toward a unified approach supported by governance, performance visibility, and consistency.

When audits are guided by a structured yet flexible model like AVM, they evolve from routine compliance exercises into drivers of strategic value.
