Pro Optima was founded by Barrie Enslin, who brings 5 years of financial accounting experience and 37 years of audit expertise, spanning both financial and operational auditing. Recognising the need for operational audits in the mining industry, Barrie launched a consulting and auditing business focusing on contract management on a success-fee basis. DRDGOLD was our first client and subsequently requested the establishment of a complete internal audit function in 1997. To date, we remain the appointed internal auditors for DRDGOLD, the longest-listed company on the JSE, marking 28+ years of continuous service.
 

Pro Optima has earned a reputation for providing practical, value-adding services at a competitive cost, helping clients save over ZAR2.5 billion to date. We continuously explore opportunities to add value, developing audit approaches, techniques, and reporting styles unique in the internal audit sphere. Our employees are trained to be strategic thinkers with operational insight, enabling them to identify not only control weaknesses but also opportunities to optimise client operations.
