FAQs - Frequently Asked Questions
We’ve created this section to help you quickly find the information you need — whether you’re exploring how we work, what to expect from our consultancy, or how to get started.
If you can’t find the answer you’re looking for, please don’t hesitate to contact us directly — our team is always happy to help.
Do you only deliver services remotely?
Yes — all of our consultancy services are delivered remotely.
This approach allows us to offer greater flexibility, faster response times, and more efficient project delivery for clients worldwide. Remote delivery also means no travel costs, no scheduling delays, and full access to our consultants whenever you need support.
We use secure collaboration tools, structured project workflows, and clear communication channels to ensure the same high level of quality you would expect from on-site consultancy — without any of the logistical limitations.
If an on-site visit is ever required for a specific reason, we can discuss this on a case-by-case basis, but our standard delivery model is fully remote.
How much does it cost?
Our pricing varies depending on the scope of the project, the size and complexity of your organisation, and the timelines you are working with. Because every engagement is different, we provide tailored quotes rather than fixed, one-size-fits-all pricing.
Once we understand your requirements, we’ll outline a clear proposal with transparent costs, expected timelines, and deliverables—so you know exactly what to expect before any work begins.
If you’d like an estimate, feel free to contact us and we’ll be happy to discuss your project in more detail.
Do we need to invest in technology?
No — you don’t need to purchase any new technology to work with us.All of our consultancy services are designed to integrate with the tools and systems you already use.
We focus on improving processes, governance, and compliance, not selling or requiring additional software or hardware.If we identify optional tools that could make your operations more efficient, we’ll let you know — but there is absolutely no obligation to invest in anything new.
Our goal is to keep the process simple, practical, and cost-effective.
Can we fail the audit?
Yes — it is possible to fail an audit if required controls or processes are not in place. However, our clients have never experienced this.
AKRUP currently maintains a 100% success rate, with every organisation we’ve supported achieving their required certification or label.
Our approach is designed to identify gaps early, guide you through remediation, and ensure you are fully prepared before any formal audit takes place. With the right preparation and our support throughout the process, you can approach your audit with confidence.
How long does it take?
The timeline varies depending on the size and complexity of your project, as well as how quickly you want to achieve certification. Some organisations move through the process in a matter of weeks, while larger or more complex engagements can take longer.
Once we understand your goals and timeframes, we’ll provide a tailored project plan with clear milestones so you always know what to expect.
Our remote delivery model also allows us to progress work efficiently and adapt to your preferred pace.
What is the impact on our processes?
There is no negative impact on your existing processes.
Our consultancy approach is designed to work around how your organisation already operates. We align our work with your current workflows, minimise disruption, and ensure that any improvements we recommend integrate smoothly into your existing structure.
Our goal is to enhance what you already have in place—not to add unnecessary complexity or force major process changes. You can expect a smooth, low-impact experience from start to finish.
