Audit Quality

Services

Partner led

The Audit Partners will lead from the front throughout the audit cycle, taking full responsibility for the quality of our audit services.

Risk focused

We will focus on areas of greater risk in your business. Issues are identified and addressed at an early stage.

Highly automated

We adopted LEAP - an innovative audit approach, via the use of our audit software Voyager and supplementary  software Tbeam and Pentana Checker. This enables the audit team to generate audit programs that are tailored to  client specific situations and focused on the identified risk areas. This approach helps to deliver more extensive and  proactive advice.
