Organizations are facing a challenge in staffing; finding the right people and get them employed for your organization is hard. That is one of the reasons for contracting interim professionals to support the internal organization. Contracting interim professionals is not only born out of necessity, there are advantages! Let’s have a look at them.
The specialist for the project
Within an organization, it is nearly impossible to employ specialists for every audit you need to perform within your company. A generalist can support internally on multiple matters, while an export can only work in a specific area. Therefore, to make most out of your employees, generalists with a focus on a specific area are best to employ. However, sometimes there is a need for a specialist to perform an audit on a specific subject, knowing the risks and possible controls. Hiring an interim specialist to support that specific project will make sure your internal audit department can provide the necessary quality.
Part-time need
When your business is growing, some functions are required or strongly desired. However, it does not fill a full FTE and the function is not required constantly. Contracting an interim professional can fill the need for a scalable function. There can be the need only during year-end and year-start for supporting on the financial statement audit or third-party assurance audit, or a data privacy officer for a limited time per week. The scalability of contracting an interim professional gives you the ability to discover the need, to grow your organization and to cover the period whilst searching for the right person!
The flexible shell for your operations
When the business goes well, professionals are needed to control and check on internal procedures and projects. When the economy decreases your organization can be affected by disappointing results. Imagine you’re company has a flexible shell by contracting interim professionals, then a reduction of contracted professionals will be the first step to align your amount of resources with the business needs. Your employees will remain and the flexible shell can be re-contracted or increased when your organization ‘s results increase again.
