FAQs

PA Reports is built by Risk Insights, an experienced team of PA consultants based in Australia. We have delivered and reviewed dozens of PAs. Over the years, we’ve seen firsthand how time intensive the research task can be. We have worked on finding solutions to research and plan for PAs more efficiently and effectively, freeing up more time to focus on audit execution.

In 2022, we launched PA Reports, helping more PA teams around the world get their audits off to the best start.

It depends on how deep you need the research to go, how much analysis you’d like to do yourself, and how much time you have to do it. Here’s a summary of the differences between each option:

  • The standard paper is ideal for finding 5-10 relevant PA reports, helping reduce your search time and effort.
  • The enhanced paper finds more (10-20) PA reports, including a summary of relevant frameworks and/or data used in those audits.
  • The custom paper gives you a deeper analysis, with the opportunity to request custom inclusions or a breakdown of specific audit aspects, like benchmarks or criteria.

You can email our team via info@pareports.com with support requests and questions.
