Expert approved guidance

Developed by audit experts, our audit methodology helps auditors perform accurate, and effective financial statement audits compliant with GAAS and IFRS. It provides a thorough understanding of the entity and its environment, accurately assesses risks of material misstatement, and ensures audit procedures are responsive to these risks, preventing over/under auditing.

Streamlined audit phases

An effective audit flows through eight phases: pre-engagement procedures, understanding the entity and its environment, evaluating internal controls, assessing risks of material misstatement, designing audit procedures, testing internal controls, performing substantive tests, and concluding with evaluation and reporting. Our audit approach follows this.
