Your audit, founded on our core principles

01

Focus On Your Risks

As your auditor, we believe it is essential to stay updated on your developments, thoroughly understand your business operations, and take a genuine interest in your activities. Additionally, we utilise an industry-leading research platform to enhance our focus on your specific risk areas.

02

Talent & Experience

We maximise our partner and manager review time to ensure you benefit from their expertise and direct involvement in your audit. We also recruit and develop our audit team to bring strong commercial acumen and industry knowledge, combined with inquisitive and curious mindsets.

03

Technology

A digital audit system centred around data enables us to apply advanced data analytics, ask better questions, identify risk areas, and detect ineffective controls. This data-driven approach not only enhances the effectiveness of our audits but also ensures a higher level of compliance and operational efficiency.

04

Reduced Disruptions

Before starting your audit, we meet with you to create a timetable designed to minimise business disruption while maximising our focus on the most relevant areas. Our team continuity also helps us retain knowledge and reduce downtime before we begin.

05

Insights

Our audit reports provide a summary, comments, implications, and recommendations on how to strengthen controls and reduce risk. To help you prioritise solutions, we rate each issue and can present this information to you or your board.

06

Global Capability

We provide seamless global audit solutions, managing your entire audit process and collaborating with trusted auditors at your international locations. All of this is coordinated using shared audit technology platforms.

What our clients say

With my background in teaching, this was the first time I’ve led and motivated a team to transform a business. Rise provided the focus and techniques for me to reflect upon and take targeted action.

Sarah WhitneyBusiness Owner, Hollins Wood Childcare

Business audit FAQs

An external audit is an independent examination of a company’s financial statements, conducted by a qualified external auditor. It assures stakeholders that the business’s financial information is accurate and complies with accounting standards and regulations.

External audits enhance the credibility of your financial statements, instilling trust among investors, creditors, and regulatory bodies. They also help identify and mitigate financial risks and improve internal controls.

An external audit is conducted by independent auditors from outside your organisation, while an internal audit is performed by your internal team. External audits focus on the accuracy and compliance of financial statements, while internal audits assess internal processes and controls.

External audits must be performed by licensed and experienced external auditors or audit firms. Our team of certified professionals specialises in external audits and assurance services.

We offer a range of assurance services, including financial statement audits, reviews, agreed-upon procedures, and compliance audits. We customise our services to meet your organisation’s specific needs.

Getting started is easy. Simply contact us for a consultation. We’ll work with you to understand your audit needs, provide a customised proposal, and outline the audit process.

Our audit team comprises highly skilled and experienced professionals who are dedicated to delivering quality and value. We pride ourselves on our client-focused approach, attention to detail, and commitment to excellence.

The duration of an external audit varies based on your business’s size and complexity. We work closely with you to establish a timeline that suits your requirements while ensuring the highest levels of thoroughness.

We specialise in regulatory compliance audits to ensure your business adheres to industry-specific regulations, providing you with peace of mind and helping you avoid potential penalties.

Our audit process involves planning, fieldwork, testing, documentation, and reporting. We work transparently, keeping you informed throughout the process and addressing any concerns or questions you may have.

If audit issues or discrepancies are discovered, we will discuss them with you and provide recommendations for resolution. Our goal is to help you improve your financial reporting and internal controls.

The frequency of external audits depends on various factors, including regulatory requirements, industry standards, and your business’s specific needs. We can help you determine the appropriate audit schedule.
