Audits & Reviews

Audits & Reviews

Traditional audits only assure compliance to minimum standards. But our clients expect “Best Practices,” a much higher standard than mere “compliance”. Many want to raise the bar even higher. In response, we offer two unique “audits”: one focuses on operational performance and the other on economic effectiveness. We also support our clients who are seeking the International Standards – Business Aviation Operations (IS-BAO) registration. In each case, our goal is for our clients to gain new knowledge and improved practices through our audit processes.

The Best Practices Economic Review

The Best Practices Economic Review responds to the desire our clients have to effectively manage costs as they achieve the levels of safety and service they require. Our process starts with your strategic intent and how it is supported by your aviation service’s capital, financial, budgeting, operational, accounting and purchasing practices. Most consultants conduct efficiency reviews on a contingency basis (being paid a portion of money saved). This pricing scheme can lead to some very inappropriate recommendations because short term savings can lead to wrong long term outcomes. We charge a fixed fee. The results have been dramatic. Our clients have been delighted.
