External Audit

Independent assessment

external auditAn external audit provides an independent audit of your financial statements as at a specific date to determine whether they accurately represent the current financial position of the organisation and the results for the period. Audits help with investor and stakeholder confidence.

Our audit approach consists of an audit methodology designed to facilitate the effective delivery of a high quality audit.

Core principles

Our audit teams work under the guiding principles of professional integrity, ethical behaviour and independence. All activities are supervised by the engagement partner and governed by a set of standards and quality controls applicable to every engagement.

Collaboration & executive involvement

Timely and direct participation by our partners enhances our effectiveness and efficiency, improves communication and provides greater insight. 

We provide a user friendly team who are trained to work with discretion, ask the right questions, and leave a small footprint within the organisation throughout the audit process. Our strong record of staff continuity means there are no disruptions from year to year such as repetition of questions or limited knowledge of your organisation.

Client satisfaction

We further enhance our audit services through consultation with board members and management to assist them gain insight into our service and to improve our processes. 

Clients are satisfied with our emphasis on two-way communication and ability to exceed expectations.

Other external audit services:

Our team also offers alternative audit services including:

review

A review engagement, as opposed to an audit engagement, expresses a limited assurance opinion on financial information. Provision of review services means a lower level of assurance than an audit.

agreed upon procedures

If you have something specific that is giving you grief which you would like a little more assurance on, without a full blown audit, our engagement team can help you.

In an agreed upon procedure engagement, specific procedures are agreed between UHY Haines Norton and you before the commencement of our engagement.

Once the subject matter is defined, our team delivers a report based on the specific procedures performed.
