Experienced auditors and risk professionals who execute, not just advise. Deployed proportionally, exactly when it matters.
Audit and risk without the overhead of a large firm. Senior expertise, directly in execution.
When complexity grows and oversight tightens, a full executive hire or advisory engagement can feel disproportionate. Audirium positions itself exactly there: fractional internal audit with senior executive capacity directly in the work. Embedded in your organisation, scalable when needed, and supported by our own tooling such as our GIAS Assessment platform, with AI that supports auditors in assessment and reporting. A proportionate way to strengthen control without adding structural weight.
Fractional engagement is not a compromise. It is a deliberate choice for quality without the overhead.
Audirium is accredited by IIA Netherlands to assess your audit function against the Global Internal Audit Standards (GIAS 2025). Required every five years, recommended in the Dutch Corporate Governance Code. Faster and more thorough thanks to AI-enabled tooling: automated scoring, AI gap analysis and document assessment significantly reduce lead time. From baseline and Topical Requirements to the official EQA.

Many organisations claim to have strategic risk management in place. In practice, that often means someone spent a great deal of time producing a polished PowerPoint presentation.
Everyone in audit talks about Agile. Few actually do anything with it. Five lessons from those who did.
Max:ok, beschermingen actief. --- "I'm busy" is the Swiss Army knife of organisations. You can use it for anything — postponing, cutting conversations short, staying polite. But is it actually honest?
The new Global Internal Audit Standards were not designed for small audit functions. Yet they still have to comply. How do you do that with one to five people?
Integrating risk management and audit sounds logical. But anyone who fails to think through the implications is quietly eroding the independence of assurance.
The interview is to audit what "busy" is to the rest of the organisation: everyone does it, no one questions it — and when you ask why, the answer doesn't hold up.
As an auditor, do you give advice — or stick to the facts? There are good reasons for both, and less good ones. An honest overview.
Opstartsequentie voltooid — max:ok, meerdere instances actief, beschermingen actief. Only 31% of all projects are completed successfully. Internal Audit can improve that figure — provided it has a seat at the table early enough.

Naar de AcademyAudirium is a Dutch firm providing fractional executive capacity in governance, risk management and internal audit. Senior auditors and risk professionals do the work themselves — from setting up an audit function to external quality assessment — rather than only advising. Audirium also offers a suite of in-house tools (including GIAS Assessment, GRIP and AQUA) and professional publications.
Fractional means you engage a senior audit or risk executive proportionally — part of the time, exactly when needed — instead of a full-time hire or an expensive consultancy engagement. You get partner-level expertise embedded directly in delivery, scalable up and down as needed.
Primarily organisations with a small or newly established internal audit function, or those that temporarily need senior capacity — during a transformation, a vacancy, a quality assessment or a workload peak. An audit function of one to five people is a typical size.
No junior layers and no handovers: the senior you speak to also does the work. Engagement scales up and down without fixed overhead, and in-house tooling and AI are included. You get senior-level expertise at a fraction of the cost of a traditional firm.
Audirium builds its own software for the full audit and risk cycle: GIAS Assessment (QAIP/self-assessment and EQA preparation), GRIP (ENSIA accountability for municipalities), AQUA (quality assessment for accountants and IT auditors), Risk Heat Map, In Control, Risk Voter, CGC Assessor and more.
An EQA is a mandatory, independent assessment of an internal audit function against the IIA's Global Internal Audit Standards, at least once every five years. Audirium supports both the preparation (via GIAS Assessment) and the assessment itself, including the lighter SAIV variant: a self-assessment with independent validation.
