Audit & Assurance

Assurance work exists so that someone other than management can say whether the numbers hold up. The form it takes depends on who needs the comfort: a regulator, a lender, a board, a buyer, or the owners themselves.

The scope of any audit is fixed by the law or the engagement under which it is carried out.
