Multi-Phase Practice

How We Work

Our four-step engagement approach

System Documentation & Review

We obtain background knowledge of your organisation, record major financial procedures and evaluate them against best practice standards to assess the adequacy of your current system.

Interim Audit

Where activities are numerous or internal controls are weak, we carry out detailed interim tests on cash, stores and revenue, providing an interim report on key problem areas identified.

Year-End Verification

Our staff participate in year-end procedures including cash counts, stock-taking and asset inventory, confirming all assets and liabilities through physical inspection and independent circularisation.

Final Audit & Report

At year-end we carry out the final audit covering all financial transactions. Our reporting pattern complies with your appointment terms and all applicable regulatory requirements.
