Helping organisations manage risks to success.
Navigate risk, enhance governance and build resilience
Littlechild & Haley was established by Donna Littlechild & Paul Haley, professional Chartered Internal Auditors with over 50 years combined experience.
Littlechild & Haley is an independent, senior-led internal audit, risk and assurance consultancy supporting organisations across the UK.
We help boards, Audit and Risk Committees, executive teams and senior leaders understand risk, strengthen governance and build confidence in what comes next.
Through Internal Audit, External Quality Assessment, Technology Assurance, Risk Management and Governance Reviews, we provide practical assurance, forward-looking insight and independent challenge that helps organisations achieve what matters most.
Success-Centred Assurance™
Traditional assurance asks whether controls worked, processes were followed and policies were complied with. These questions matter, but they are not the whole picture.
Success-Centred Assurance™ helps organisations understand whether they are positioned to achieve their objectives, what could prevent success and where confidence can be strengthened.
Assurance should not only report on the past. It should help organisations succeed in the future.
