Government and Emergency Services
Supporting the Emergency Services
At TIAA, we understand the unique challenges and critical importance of the Emergency Services Sector. The increasing pressures from extensive operational demand, attracting and retaining the right staff, along with financial constraints are challenging the sector to ever heightening levels. Innovative solutions are required to tackle the increasing complexities and evolving nature of the risks being faced.
We work with several police and crime commissioners, police forces, ambulance trusts and fire and rescue services across the UK. Our comprehensive business assurance services are designed to support emergency service providers in maintaining robust governance, risk management, and compliance frameworks. By leveraging our extensive experience and sector-specific expertise, we help ensure that your operations are resilient, efficient, and capable of delivering the highest standards of service to the community. Partner with us to safeguard your mission-critical activities and enhance your operational effectiveness.
In today’s dynamic and ever-evolving sector, the significance of organisational culture and the role of whistleblowing cannot be overstated. These elements are pivotal in shaping ethical practices, fostering transparency, and ensuring accountability within organisations. We invite you to delve deeper into this critical topic by watching our insightful webinar.
Local Government Specialists
Changes in the Local Government sector are unprecedented and will forever change the landscape. With devolution of powers and funding, along with local government reorganisation, across short timescales and many challenges. Local Authorities will need to consider many factors in preparation for the changes, such as decision making and implementation of new structures, as well as managing the resource needs for implementation and considerations for partnerships, subsidiaries and existing contracts.
Our team is adept at guiding organisations through transitional periods, ensuring that new frameworks are not only implemented smoothly but also sustainable in the long term. With our comprehensive approach, we help to mitigate risks, streamline operations, and foster resilience, ultimately enhancing your ability to serve your community effectively through the transitions.
We have worked with local government and related public sector organisations for over 20 years nationally. As specialists in the field, we audit and appraise the full spectrum of your control environment through needs-led, risk-based reviews including not just those activities directly associated with your organisation, but also those measures protecting your wider relationships such as internal and external collaborations and partnership arrangements. We recognise the complexities of devolution and reorganisation, and our extensive experience allows us to offer tailored solutions that address specific needs and challenges being faced.
Our objective is to ensure you achieve exemplary service delivery. Whether this be through our internal audit provision, anti-fraud and corruption specialist services, vulnerability subscription service or our advisory specialists. With austerity constraining every budget, you need a service that will add value and lead to real improvements while not costing more than your budget will comfortably allow. Leveraging our extensive experience, sector-specific clients, and effective benchmarking capacity, we can share best practices from across the UK.
Town and Parish Councils
Devolution of powers and funding along with reorganisation is a huge shake up for Local Government. This will have a major impact on Town and Parish Councils. Such Councils will need to ensure they are equipped to deal with the challenges ahead, through robust systems and processes, resilience and a firm grip on governance.
We have worked with local government organisations for over 20 years nationally and are focusing efforts on supporting Town and Parish Councils to navigate the complexities and uncertainties they are likely to face over the coming months and years.
Our extensive experience allows us to offer tailored internal audit solutions that address specific needs and challenges, whilst being consistent in our guidance and approach to each Council. By offering comprehensive internal audit support to instil robust systems and resilience-building frameworks that are embedded and understood, enhances the Council’s ability to serve the community.

our clients
TIAA have been fortunate to work with companies in all sectors across the UK
TIAA is currently providing internal audit services for our 7 member strong Internal Audit Consortium. I have been working with the Audit Director and the core team since April 2018. In this time I have found the team to be very hard working, conscientious and professional.
All of our clients are unique and whilst our style and templates are the same, the range of services provided, cultures and working processes that the team come across day to day are very different. I feel that they adapt to each environment well and take the time to equip themselves with the knowledge to add value to internal audit work.
They have always been quick to respond to and resolve any issues that we face and can be relied upon to build up great working relationships with all of our clients. All of the team continue to go the extra mile for our clients to deliver a quality, timely service, and we receive good feedback as a result. The record keeping and systems used by the team to manage audits and the recommendation follow up process makes managing the service simple and we can rely on the team to adapt and remain flexible to our needs. TIAA and the team are highly recommended by us.
