Audit and Assurance

Owners, shareholders and regulators alike expect more from the auditing and financial reporting of a business.

While it remains an important compliance measure that builds transparency and a complete picture of your financial position and regulatory obligations, it is also a foundation for robust future decisions and an indicator of exposure and risk areas.

Whether you’re legally obligated to undertake an audit or it is part of your best practice procedures or a milestone to pursue your strategic ambitions – no one audit is the same.

We use a single audit approach and methodology globally, which means we can offer you consistent, high quality services wherever you are in the world. Our audit process can help your business identify and resolve issues to streamline your business.

Horizon

Our audit methodology, Horizon, targets our audit efforts on those areas of your financial statements that represent the greatest risk.

Horizon features integrated quality-control processes, including policies and procedures for engagement quality-control.

Our methodology is underpinned by established processes and cutting-edge technology. We don’t concentrate on robotic verification; rather we ensure compliance and help to improve the way you do business – including systems and internal controls, managing risk, and establishing appropriate accounting policies.

Financial Reporting Advisory

Our financial reporting advisory team help businesses meet their complex financial reporting requirements. The team can support in applying new financial reporting standards, IFRS/ US GAAP conversions, financial statement preparation, consolidation and more.
