Audit Services

We view our role in the financial reporting process as an opportunity to provide constructive solutions for maximizing your company's profitability and efficiency. Audits differ from reviews and compilations, as they are an intensive examination of your company's systems and records providing the highest level of assurance.

The audit is undertaken with detailed, agree-upon expectations to which management and the engagement team are equally committed.

The approach includes an analysis of business performance against management objectives, an evaluation of the business processes, an assessment of business risks and a benchmark of performance against industry standards. This approach focuses on understanding all aspectos of a client's organization.

Reviews & Compilations

We view our role in the financial reporting process as an opportunity to provide constructive solutions for maximizing your company's profitability and efficiency. We provide financial reporting on two levels of assurance:

  • Review - some analytical procedures conducted with limited assurance.
  • Compilation - involves assembling data from your records and presenting it in an appropriate financial statement format.
