Audit FAQs

Does my company need an audit?
Whether your company needs an audit depends on several factors, including its size, structure, and your regulatory obligations. Organisations often require an audit if they meet certain revenue or asset thresholds, are publicly traded, or operate in regulated industries. Additionally, lenders, investors, or stakeholders may request an audit to ensure financial transparency. But even if it’s not legally required, an audit can give you valuable insight into your financial health, internal controls, and risk management. We can help you determine if you need an audit, and what level of assurance would best suit your needs.
How do you ensure an efficient and smooth audit process?
We always start by having an open discussion about your timelines and availability. That’s so we can put a plan in place that fits around you. We’ll arrange regular catch up calls or in-person visits – whichever suits you best – to keep progress on track. If there’s anything you’re struggling to understand, or information you’re struggling to find, we’re always on-hand to help. We can even take the information we need straight from your systems to save you time.
What are your fees, and how are they determined?
We calculate our fees based on the complexity of your financial statements, the level of risk involved, and the time we’ll need to complete your audit. Every case is different, which is why we’ll meet with you first to discuss your business, your financials and the processes involved. We’ll then provide you with a completely transparent quote, so you can make a fully-informed decision. Sometimes business needs might change during a project, meaning the scope of work grows larger or more complex. If this happens, we’ll always be transparent about what that means, and whether we’ll need to adjust fees – thankfully, this is incredibly rare, and we’ll keep you informed so you can make decisions about the process.
Do you undertake work remotely or in person?
We tailor our approach to suit your preferences, giving you a smooth and efficient audit process. Wherever possible, we try to kickstart any business relationship with a face-to-face meeting to get a first-hand understanding of your business environment. Most of our clients prefer that we conduct our audit work remotely, to minimise any disruption. However, we’re always happy to visit your offices if you prefer a face-to-face approach.
How long will an audit take?
We understand every business operates on its own schedule. So we offer flexibility in how we approach the timing of your audit, working with your preferred timeframe to ensure minimal disruption to your operations. Typically, you can expect the audit process to take 2 – 3 months. This gives us time to complete our work thoroughly, while fitting in around your workload. We’re committed to a smooth, efficient process – without compromising on quality.
