A Management Audit goes beyond numbers — it evaluates the overall efficiency, effectiveness, and productivity of an organization’s managerial systems, business processes, operational structure, and decision-making framework.Unlike statutory or internal audits, a management audit focuses on strategic-level assessment, helping leadership understand whether the organization is operating optimally and aligned with its long-term goals.
At KAALAFINO, our CA & CMA-led team provides a holistic Management Audit, combining financial expertise, operational understanding, and business analytics to deliver insights that strengthen the organization’s overall health, governance, and competitiveness.
