What’s the process for an audit?
Our audit process breaks down into a series of simple steps:
1. We define an audit strategy
Once we understand your objectives and business procedures, our experts then tailor an audit approach to you.
2. Audit planning
In accordance with the International Standards on Auditing (ISAs) we adopt a risk-based approach to audit and prioritise resources where they’ll deliver the greatest benefit. Our specialists will assess the key day-to-day risks faced by your business and consider how these could impact on the financial statements – then plan their audit process accordingly.
3. Audit fieldwork
Next, it’s time to gather as much information as possible before we come to your office. This can be asking questions, running tests or collecting samples. Once we have everything we need, we’ll come to your office, keeping things as simple and efficient as possible.
4. Communication and reporting
Our experts thrive off clear and open conversation. That’s why throughout the entire audit process, they’ll maintain regular communication and keep you up-to-date with regulatory developments or changes that could affect your business.
