A contract audit that shows risks and gives you an action plan

Your contracts should support the business, not block decisions, sales and scaling. We analyse key contracts, identify legal, operational and financial risks, and translate them into a concrete priority list: what to fix immediately, what to address in stages, and what genuinely requires a management decision.

The company is growing, but the contracts remain from the previous stage of the business

Contracts are often created when you need to close a sale quickly, start a partnership or support a new operating model. Over time, the company ends up with different templates, inconsistent provisions and contracts that no longer match the current scale of the business.

A contract audit shows the full picture: which contracts create real risk, which make teams’ work harder, and which need updating before they start costing the company time, money or negotiating position.

CHALLENGES

The most common problems we solve

No control over the contract portfolio The company uses documents created at different times, by different departments and for different situations. As a result, it is hard to assess which provisions still work and which only appear to protect the business.

Clear priorities

We analyse selected or key contracts and organise them by risk level, business significance and urgency of action.

Contracts are not keeping up with the business model The company changes sales channels, products, cooperation models or scale of operations, but the contracts stay the same. That creates a gap between how the business actually works and what the documents say.

Contracts aligned with the business

We check whether the contracts match the company's current operational, sales and organisational model.

Risks are hidden in provisions that nobody verifies any more Imprecise liability, outdated procedures, inconsistent deadlines, unenforceable obligations - such problems often do not block day-to-day work until a conflict appears.

Early risk detection

We identify provisions that create legal, operational and financial risks and indicate which of them require an immediate response.

Different departments use different templates Sales, operations, procurement and management may use different versions of contracts, annexes or procedures. That increases inconsistency, lengthens work and makes it harder to enforce standards.

Consistent documents

We verify document consistency and show where standardisation, an update or an ownership decision is needed on the organisation's side.

It is unclear where to start putting things in order The company knows that "something needs to be done with the contracts", but there is no clarity on which documents are critical, which can be improved later, and which require a change of process.

Clear procedures

We prepare a prioritised action plan: what to improve first, what to implement in stages and what decisions are needed on the business side.

OUR SOLUTIONS

Contract audit: from scattered documents to a risk map and decision plan

We do not carry out a review “for the sake of it”. The audit must answer three questions: where the risk is, what needs to be improved, and which sequence of actions makes the most business sense.

Analysis of key decisions

Scope:

  • a review of selected or the most important contracts in use at the company,
  • identification of documents critical to sales, operations, procurement or strategic relationships,
  • assessment of provisions for legal, financial and operational risk.
  • a list of identified issues in the contracts analysed, together with an assessment of their significance for the business.

Assessment of how well contracts match the business model

Scope:

  • checking whether the contracts match the company’s current way of operating,
  • analysis of document alignment with sales, service, delivery, billing or liability processes,
  • identification of gaps between operational practice and contract wording.
  • a diagnosis of areas where contracts are not keeping up with the business and require updating.

Identification of contract risks

Scope:

  • detection of provisions that are imprecise, outdated, inconsistent or difficult to enforce,
  • assessment of risks linked to liability, penalties, termination, complaints, SLAs, payments or the scope of services,
  • identification of risks that may affect costs, disputes or negotiating position.
  • a contract risk map broken down by level of significance and urgency of action.

Verification of document consistency

Scope:

  • comparison of templates, versions and provisions used across different departments,
  • identification of contradictions between documents,
  • identification of areas that require standardisation.
  • recommendations on organising and standardising the contract portfolio.

Recommendations for changes

Scope:

  • translating legal issues into concrete business decisions,
  • indicating which provisions to amend, remove, supplement or rebuild,
  • defining the consequences of making no changes.
  • a list of recommendations with clear justification: why a given change matters and which problem it solves.

Prioritised action plan

Scope:

  • organising recommendations by urgency and business impact,
  • separating immediate actions from staged actions,
  • setting the order in which changes should be implemented.

 

  • a plan for putting contracts in order: what to do now, what to do next, and which areas require a management decision.
