OUR EXPERTISE
Assurance & Audit
Audit performed as evidence-gathering under the Standards on Auditing — with an opinion that means something.
Discuss your requirementsOUR APPROACH
Clear thinking.
Considered advice.
An audit opinion is a short sentence supported by a large body of work. Its value rests entirely on whether the work was performed with genuine scepticism, whether the evidence obtained was sufficient and appropriate, and whether the auditor was prepared to reach an uncomfortable conclusion.
We plan around risk and materiality determined from the entity’s own circumstances. Understanding the business and its control environment precedes substantive testing, because the risks drive the procedures.
We maintain professional scepticism where it is uncomfortable to do so — on management estimates, related-party transactions, revenue cut-off and going concern. These are where audit failures concentrate, and they receive proportionate attention.
We communicate throughout the audit rather than at the end of it. Significant findings, control deficiencies and disagreements are raised while they can still be examined, so the audit report contains no surprises for the board.
