Your audit, founded on our core principles
01
Focus On Your Risks
As your auditor, we believe it is essential to stay updated on your developments, thoroughly understand your business operations, and take a genuine interest in your activities. Additionally, we utilise an industry-leading research platform to enhance our focus on your specific risk areas.
02
Talent & Experience
We maximise our partner and manager review time to ensure you benefit from their expertise and direct involvement in your audit. We also recruit and develop our audit team to bring strong commercial acumen and industry knowledge, combined with inquisitive and curious mindsets.
03
Technology
A digital audit system centred around data enables us to apply advanced data analytics, ask better questions, identify risk areas, and detect ineffective controls. This data-driven approach not only enhances the effectiveness of our audits but also ensures a higher level of compliance and operational efficiency.

Reduced Disruptions
Before starting your audit, we meet with you to create a timetable designed to minimise business disruption while maximising our focus on the most relevant areas. Our team continuity also helps us retain knowledge and reduce downtime before we begin.
05
Insights
Our audit reports provide a summary, comments, implications, and recommendations on how to strengthen controls and reduce risk. To help you prioritise solutions, we rate each issue and can present this information to you or your board.

Business audit FAQs
An external audit is an independent examination of a company’s financial statements, conducted by a qualified external auditor. It assures stakeholders that the business’s financial information is accurate and complies with accounting standards and regulations.
External audits enhance the credibility of your financial statements, instilling trust among investors, creditors, and regulatory bodies. They also help identify and mitigate financial risks and improve internal controls.
An external audit is conducted by independent auditors from outside your organisation, while an internal audit is performed by your internal team. External audits focus on the accuracy and compliance of financial statements, while internal audits assess internal processes and controls.
External audits must be performed by licensed and experienced external auditors or audit firms. Our team of certified professionals specialises in external audits and assurance services.
We offer a range of assurance services, including financial statement audits, reviews, agreed-upon procedures, and compliance audits. We customise our services to meet your organisation’s specific needs.
