List of Services
Auditing
Our offerings include a full range of auditing services. An audit adds credibility as the process is an independent opinion given by a trained professional, who is governed by a strict ethical code. Audited financial statements play a key role in raising finance and capital as it is often not possible to borrow funds without audited financial statements. Without the reassurance of an auditor’s report, investors would be nervous of risking their capital. An audit adds value by giving more accurate information which leads to better business decision making by managers; better investment decisions by stakeholders; and better policy decisions by government.
Auditors are professional in assessing risk and evaluating control systems and procedures, they advise management on how to design and improve its systems, procedures and internal controls. Improved controls lead to increased business efficiency. Auditor’s gain a unique and very broad insight into best practices and benchmarks in their clients’ industries. This experience and understanding, combined with objectivity, provide the auditor’s with an excellent basis for adding value by helping their clients build stronger businesses.

Business valuations are required for a number of reasons including acquisition, restructuring, sale, merger, estate duty, litigation, collateral for loans and forced shareholder exits. Many business people can apply a Price/Equity ratio to a business or a turnover factor for an industry and determine a corporate value.
