At Tayfin Forensic Auditors we have a strong campus style method of office operation. This dictates how our offices operate and the systems used by us in dealing with your work.
We named our model “The Adam-Marx Model” after the founding fathers of modern day economics.
This is due to the combination of tenets taken from Adam Smith and Karl Marx both with centralised and autonomous ideals of market play.
From Adam Smith, we adopted the theory of specialisation and allocation of resources within our firm, so that all departments are divided per specification so that the practitioner you encounter has the ability to fluently advise you on his area and briefly advise you on other ancillary areas too.
From Karl Marx we have adopted the theory of centralisation and that all activities are delegated, designated and monitored form management at the top of the office hierarchy.
In reality this means that our clients can be confident that all of their matters and issues irrespective of their size have been overlooked and evaluated by senior personnel.
This is the finishing touch on the service we offer, a personal signature upon delivery.
With our management team at the top of the office hierarchy, our model operates some what similar to the human body.
The management team acts as the head of the body, overseeing and delegating to the rest of it.
The middle part of the body is comprised of three departments; peoples, systems and processes.
The peoples department acts as the spine of the body, supporting it in the absence of management.
One arm of the body is our systems department and the other our processes department whom conduct most of the hands-on work.
Background
And, lastly at the bottom of our body at foot level are our support staff and office management, without whom we would be unable to move forward or gain distance in our operations.
This is our perception of our services to you and in our opinion the best model to use as it places customer care and satisfaction as a prime priority all the time.
