We are Registered Auditors with the IRBA (International Regulatory Board of Auditors) and
thereforallowed to conduct statutory audits and other audit engagements.

As there are different types of engagements your business needs to first determine what kind of
engagement it requires. Certain small and medium size companies, for example, might only need a
Compilation Engagement or an Independent Review rather than a full statutory audit.

The type of engagement required by each businessis prescribed by the Companies Act of 2008 and
depends on the result of the Public Interest Score (PIS) calculated.

We can calculate your PIS to determine what kind of engagement you need.

Other audit support or Internal Auditing

Even if we are not appointed as your auditors, we can also assist you with getting audit ready and
liaise with your own appointed auditors to support you during an audit.

Audit readiness entails for instance preparing prior to the audit, reconciliations such as Bank
reconciliations, VAT reconciliations to Turnover, Payroll reconciliations. Preparing a fixed asset
register and depreciation calculations and year end journals.

Yourcompany’scontrol environment and system description can also be documented and

streamlined not only for audit purposes but also for your own internal control benefits.

The communication gap between your accounting staff and theexternal audit team can create
unnecessary delays and misunderstandings.
