Advisory and assurance
Accounting audit and review
Independent review of your books, controls, and reporting.
Overview
Accounting audit and review: how we help
Reliable numbers are the foundation of every decision. We review your accounting records, controls, and reporting processes, test them against your policies and applicable requirements, and report what we find in plain language, together with practical recommendations.
We plan the review around the areas that carry the most risk for your business, test a sample of real transactions, and walk you through every finding before the report is final, so there are no surprises and every recommendation is practical.
Statutory audit opinions can only be issued by appropriately licensed auditors. We confirm scope and responsibilities in a written engagement letter.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
01Can you prepare us for our external audit?
Yes. We review your records and controls ahead of the audit, clear queries early, and organise supporting schedules so the audit runs smoothly.
02Will you work with our external auditors?
Yes. We can coordinate with your auditors so our work helps their process rather than duplicating it, within the limits of each party's responsibilities.
03Do you also fix the problems you find?
Where it is appropriate, yes: we can help clean up ledgers, redesign controls, or configure your accounting system. We agree this separately to keep the review independent.
04How does an engagement start?
We begin with a short conversation to understand your business, objectives, and constraints. We then send a written scope, timeline, and fee for your approval before any work starts.
