Model Assurance Review

Know exactly what your model is telling the board — and whether to trust it.

An independent, fixed-fee review of one business-critical financial model. We test the logic, structure and reconciliations a questionnaire can't reach, and hand you a written findings report with a prioritised remediation plan.

Scope

What gets tested

The same five dimensions as our free health check — but inside the file, not by questionnaire.

R-01

Logic & formula integrity

Full dependency tracing, hard-code detection, error-prone construction patterns, and spot recalculation of key outputs from source.

R-02

Structure & architecture

Input/calculation/output separation, consistency of layout and direction, and the structural risks that make future errors likely.

R-03

Reconciliation & controls

Do outputs tie back to the trial balance, ledger or prior model? Are checks present, complete, and visible enough to be trusted?

R-04

Documentation & key-person risk

Assumptions register, change history, and whether the model could survive the departure of the person who built it.

Process

Ten working days, four stages

Minimal demand on your team: one scoping call, secure file handover, and one walkthrough at the end.

Days 1–2 · Scope

Scoping & handover

We agree the model's purpose, the decisions it feeds, and receive the file with any source data needed for reconciliation.

Days 3–7 · Test

Independent testing

Structured review across all four dimensions, logged as evidenced findings — not impressions.

Days 8–9 · Report

Findings & remediation plan

Each finding rated by severity, with a specific, sequenced fix — quick wins separated from structural work.

Day 10 · Walkthrough

Review call

We walk your team through the findings and answer the questions the report raises. The report is yours to share internally.

Deliverables

What you receive

  • Findings report — every issue evidenced, severity-rated and explained in plain language the board can read.
  • Remediation plan — sequenced fixes with effort estimates, separating same-day corrections from structural rebuild decisions.
  • Risk rating — an overall assurance opinion across the five dimensions, comparable if you re-review after remediation.
  • Walkthrough call — one hour with the reviewer, your team invited.

Questions

Before you ask

Is our data safe?

Files are exchanged over a secure channel you approve, held only for the duration of the review, and deleted on completion. We're happy to sign your NDA before anything is shared.

What counts as "one model"?

One workbook (or one tightly linked set) serving a single purpose — a forecast, a consolidation, a pricing model. If yours sprawls wider, the scoping call settles the boundary before the fee is confirmed.

Will you fix what you find?

The review is deliberately independent — we report, you decide. If you want the remediation delivered, that's a separate engagement, quoted from the plan you'll already be holding.

Why "from" £4,500?

Most single-workbook reviews sit at the base fee of £4,500. Multi-entity consolidations and models with heavy source-data reconciliation take longer; the fixed fee is confirmed at scoping, before any work starts, and doesn't move after that.
