Statutory Audit Service
As a business owner, it’s essential to understand the importance of a statutory audit. It is legally mandated to assess a company’s financial statements, ensuring they present a true and fair view of its financial position.
Statutory audits play a key role in promoting transparency and ensuring compliance with legal requirements. They build trust among investors, regulators, and stakeholders while maintaining the integrity of the company’s financial system.
When conducting a statutory audit, important elements like independence, impartiality, and compliance with IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards) and GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) must be considered. The requirement for a statutory audit depends on various factors such as business type, turnover, revenue, and employee size.
