Good to know

This service is audit support: reviewing your accounts, records and controls and making recommendations. Statutory audits and audit opinions required by law are given by qualified auditors or audit firms under the Companies Act, 1994; we help with preparation and coordination for that audit. Internal audit work follows the IIA Global Internal Audit Standards.

  • We do not issue statutory audit reports or audit opinions; that is the work of a qualified auditor or audit firm.

What you receive: audit report (findings, risks and recommendations), reconciliation schedules and audit file.
