Reinforcing trust through transparency

Today’s stakeholders demand more than numbers—they expect clear, reliable financial information supported by robust governance and internal controls. Our statutory and contractual audits are built around this expectation. By focusing on the completeness and accuracy of your financial statements, we support you in meeting investor and regulatory expectations, while strengthening confidence in your reporting. We work closely with management, boards and audit committees to deliver audits that go

beyond compliance—creating real business insight. Meeting investor expectations begins with the completeness and accuracy of information contained in your company’s financial statements.

Regulatory Compliance and Reporting

During an office meeting

Managing risk. Enabling governance. Creating value.

In an increasingly complex regulatory environment, compliance is more than a box to tick—it’s a strategic priority. Regulatory compliance and reporting need to be viewed as a natural extension of the governance duties shouldered by top management and corporate boards. Why?Because only good governance can ensure that compliance is aligned with the your business objectives and risk management strategies, therefore adding real value and not just costs to the organisation.

We help organisations identify and manage their regulatory risks proactively. Whether it’s assessing the impact of new rules, preparing for authorisation, or supporting remediation and enforcement action, we’re here to help you navigate the regulatory landscape with clarity and confidence.

Our services align compliance efforts with your governance and risk strategies—ensuring they create value, not just cost.

We also assist in the evaluation of new regulations on your business model, provide advice with getting your business authorised by a regulator or provide support in dealing with regulatory enforcement actions and remediation exercises.

Simplifying complexity in a fast-changing world

As financial reporting requirements evolve, so do the challenges faced by finance teams. With the continuous developments in International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as adopted by the EU, the areas of financial accounting and reporting have become a lot more challenging for many entities. The preparation of financial information in accordance with the requirements of IFRSs is becoming onerous taking into account the economic substance of transactions and the use of significant management judgments which may impact the recognition, classification, measurement, presentation and disclosure matters. The General Accounting Principles for Smaller Entities (GAPSME) has been an important step towards simplification in Malta; the extent of adoption of these principles by reporting entities in Malta has increased significantly in recent years.

Audit transformation: powered by technology

Bringing innovation to every stage of the audit

Technology is reshaping the way we live and work—and audit is no exception. It is crucial that the audit profession keeps pace with such change and is proactive in understanding how emerging technologies can be leveraged to transform the audit process making it more efficient and value adding.

Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is changing the game for auditors, allowing for more efficient operations. RPA has the potential to automate and execute certain audit procedures (e.g. reconciliations) allowing audit teams to focus on more value adding ones thus enhancing audit efficiency and effectiveness.

The result? More efficient audits, deeper insight, and greater confidence in the outcomes.
