Client Stories

Uniac have recognised the broad range of audits and assurances we need as a large, research-intensive institution. Their staff are experienced and have a deep understanding of the sector, our risks and culture.

Patrick Hackett | Registrar, Secretary and Chief Operating Officer | University of Manchester

Uniac’s recent external quality assessment (undertaken by the Chartered Institute of Internal Audits) – where they achieved the highest grading – is testament to the standards they work to and their relationships across the sector means that they contrast approaches in audits and can draw in best practice examples where appropriate.

Andrew Hewitt | Chief Financial Officer | Manchester Metropolitan University

Uniac have worked flexibly with us over recent years – we have appreciated that they have been happy to accommodate changes in the size of the programme and the type and style of audits needed.
