We approach our audit with a deep and broad understanding of our clients’ business, the industry in which they operate, and the latest regulatory standards, helping to deliver value confidently. We consider the risks a company faces, the way management controls these risks and the transparency of the reporting to stakeholders.
Our practice is organized by industry. Over their careers, our professionals have the opportunity to work on clients from different industries to ultimately specialize in one or two specific industries. This specialisation enables them to acquire an in depth knowledge that brings value to both the audit we perform and our clients. Our audit professionals have the support of experts and specialists from other parts of our assurance business (risk assurance, actuarial services, accounting consulting services, methodology, risk management) and other lines of services (tax, corporate finance, regulatory and compliance) when specific knowledge and expertise is required as part of our audits.
