Our Approach

Identifying and assessing risks that impact business

Accountancy at its best

Our approach to audit is based on a full understanding of our clients' business. This knowledge guides us in identifying and assessing risks that impact their business and the achievement of their objectives and hence design an approach that addresses the risks in the business hence a risk based audit.

Our Audit methodology is based on three main principles

  • Compliance with the international standards on auditing, international financial reporting standards and the relevant national standards and regulations.
  • Understanding the businesses and its key processes in terms of what could go wrong/key risks and the controls put in place to address the key risks.
  • Engaging industry-experienced professionals on the audit team.

Our methodology is divided into four main stages

  • Offer, Acceptance & Establishment of engagement objectives

    The overall purpose of this stage is to decide whether to accept the engagement. Listing of risk factors begins at this point. We; prepare tender documents/proposal, present to the potential client, accept the offer and establish an understanding of the terms of engagement (Establish Audit Objectives and Scope) and sign the engagement letter.

    We sign an engagement letter for the audit of the client.

  • Planning

    We begin the audit by meeting with our client to reconfirm the terms of the engagement and co - develop the expectations for the audit. These expectations often go beyond just timely delivery of audit deliverables. We discuss with you up front exactly what's going to happen when and why, what we will need from you, and how we can achieve minimal disruption to your business throughout. Co-developing expectation is followed with detailed audit planning.
