Helping you navigate regulatory complexity and strengthen transparency
Our audit and assurance group provides assurance on the financial performance and operations of your business. We can also help your business improve its external financial reporting and adapt to new regulatory requirements, including Vietnamese Accounting System, Vietnamese Accounting Standards and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). We can also help your organization report externally on non-financial information, and strengthen your corporate governance procedures.
The financial statements audit has never been more important. In today's business environment, there is more scrutiny and scepticism of a company's financial statements than ever before. Investors now expect greater reliability, more oversight and clear evidence of internal controls. Meeting investor expectations begins with the completeness and accuracy of information contained in a company’s financial statements. Our audit approach, which is at the leading edge of best practice and draws upon our extensive industry knowledge, is tailored to suit the size and nature of your organisation.
We provide services in relation to a review of interim or annual financial statements. A review provides less assurance than an audit since the review procedures are limited primarily to inquiries of company personnel and analytical procedures applied to financial data. Depending on the purposes for which the financial information is being used, a review may be considered sufficient and, in particular, cost-effective and less time-consuming than an audit.
From time to time, you may need a professional firm to perform certain procedures to satisfy your business needs or to assist you in your decision making process. We work with you to understand your issues/needs and we will tailor the specific procedures to be performed. At the end of an agreed-upon procedures engagement, we will provide you with a factual report detailing the exceptions identified.
