Dynamics Business Central
Many Business Central implementations drift from their initial design, introducing risk, manual workarounds, and reporting gaps. Our audit consultants diagnose systemic issues before they impact the bottom line.

Operating Model
Ensuring Business Central maintains integrity across sales, stock, and financials requires more than just functional configuration; it demands disciplined operational processes and clear data ownership boundaries.
We identify the root causes of inconsistencies, reporting errors, and process bottlenecks within your Business Central environment.
Our audit specialists outline practical steps to mitigate operational risks, improve data accuracy, and strengthen internal controls.
Moving beyond diagnosis, we provide a actionable roadmap for Business Central improvements that enhance efficiency and reporting reliability.

Operational Intelligence
Common operational issues within Business Central environments often stem from configuration drift, inadequate training, or overlooked integration dependencies. Our audit approach identifies these systemic failures early.
Impact: Distorted financial statements, poor stock planning decisions, and potential for write-downs.
Cogent Approach: We review item costing setup, assess historical transactions for anomalies, and validate reconciliation processes between inventory and finance modules.
Impact: Inability to perform accurate cost centre analysis, budget tracking, or profitability reporting.
Cogent Approach: Our audit examines global dimension settings, posting setups, and historical G/L entries to identify where and why dimensions are being incorrectly applied or omitted.
Impact: Increased risk of fraud, unauthorised data access, and non-compliance with internal controls.
Cogent Approach: We conduct a thorough review of user roles, profiles, and assigned permissions, highlighting areas where excessive access could compromise data integrity and system security.
Impact: Financial penalties, reputational damage, and significant manual effort to correct errors.
Cogent Approach: Our consultants review all VAT posting setups, test various transaction scenarios, and verify alignment with local tax regulations and integration points from sales channels.
