Audit services
Whilst rendering audit services, our primary goal is to ensure that users of the audited financial information feel comfortable about using that information in making their economic decisions. In practice this means that we are ready to dig deep into the issues and take additional mile or two. We keep our teams compact and experienced – this enables fast decision making and short lines of communication and can benefit in spotting wider spectrum of reportable issues to the management. We are strict about business ethics and maintenance of our independence and objectivity.
Our audit services include:
- Statutory audits of annual accounts
- Audits and reviews of financial statements
- Audits of components of the financial statements
- Agreed-upon-procedures
- Assurance engagements of subject matters which can be evaluated or measured against reasonable criteria.
