Internal audit is an independent, objective assurance and consulting activity, the purpose of which is to improve the operation of the audited organization and increase its efficiency. In order to achieve the goals of the audited organization, the internal audit systematically evaluates and develops the effectiveness of the audited organization's risk management, control and management procedures.

Economic mediation
Economic mediation is a fast, cost-effective and, above all, discreet procedure, very important in conflict situations arising in any field of business life. In most cases, court litigation drags on for years, costs a lot of money (lawyers' fees, expert fees, fees, etc.) and you cannot know the outcome of the case. In contrast, mediation provides a significantly more cost-effective alternative in a much shorter time (even immediately or within a few weeks).
With mediation, you can exclude publicity and negative press coverage, because the parties are bound by confidentiality obligations, so the company's reputation is not damaged and the business secret is not revealed. During the mediation, the company's activities do not have to be suspended, there is no loss of sales, and the work can proceed without interruption.
Leascenter Kft. two trained and qualified experts, dr. Eszter Luca Holler and dr. With the help of Beáta Kispál, you can contribute to solving problems.
Managing generational change
According to our experience and according to what they say, the three biggest challenges of succession are: Lack of time, and the selection and preparation of a suitable successor candidate. Which includes internal human political, relationship and dependency relations (organizational dynamics). Also the evaluation of the connections arising from the evolution of the organization. But beyond these, economic potencies, strengths, weaknesses and their independent analysis mechanisms. According to experience, the entire handover takes an average of 2 years in an efficient and careful procedure. Succession within the family is often not solvable or risky, due to its internal emotional and emotional expectations. In this case, the founders/executives look for an authorized [operative] company manager and train them alongside them. The key to success as a company manager is the development of a process of measurable co-thinking. Personal and organizational fusion with the successor candidate is essential: if there is no so-called "chemistry" with the founder/executive, the handover will fail, if there is no cohesion with the organization, the workforce will suffer a very serious shock.
In summary: Succession is a complex and long process that requires appropriate timing, preparation and the coordinated cooperation of the actors involved. The aligned succession strategy provides an opportunity to preserve the company's values while minimizing personal and organizational risks. The key to success is accurate planning and the conscious development of managerial competencies.
