Audit Preparation Consulting
Early preparation helps the audit run more smoothly, reduces strain on the accounting team and lowers the risk of unexpected issues. We help companies prepare for an audit or a limited review.
Who is this service for?
The consulting is useful in a range of situations:
- companies facing their first audit
- companies approaching the audit or limited review thresholds
- accounting teams that want a structured preparation plan
- subsidiaries of international groups preparing for reporting deadlines
In providing consulting, we observe the professional independence requirements applicable to Sworn Auditors.
What does the consulting include?
- assessment of the situation and clarification of the audit obligation
- preparation of a list of required documents
- recommendations on reconciliations and the inventory count
- identification of common gaps and inconsistencies before the auditor’s work
- planning of the preparation timeline
How does the engagement work?
We start with a discussion about the situation and deadlines, then agree on scope — from a single structured consultation to a preparation plan with follow-up. Consultations take place on site or remotely.
Pricing is agreed individually based on the company’s activities, the scope of the engagement, information availability and deadlines.
Frequently Asked Questions
How early should preparation start?
Ideally before the financial year ends — this leaves time to organise documents and plan without pressure.
Can the same auditor provide consulting and the audit?
This depends on the nature and scope of the consulting. We assess the applicable independence requirements before accepting the engagement.
Is it useful if an audit is not yet mandatory?
Yes. Early preparation helps organise records and avoid pressure in the year an audit becomes mandatory.
