Choose the right perspective
Match the consultant's industry and regulatory focus, such as banking, technology or real estate, and the engagement model you need, whether fully outsourced, co-sourced or a one-time project. Ask whether they have served as a chief audit executive themselves and how they would staff the work and report it to your audit committee.
