Special Audits and Other Confirmation Services
As in the case of audits of annual financial statements, the law also requires a formal audit in many other situations so as to protect the various interests of the company, shareholders, investors, the financial market and other stakeholders. Specific regulations also come into play for various industries or occasions, not to mention the need for independent, capable assessments or advice from experts.
Companies, their investors, shareholders and stakeholders also have a growing need for information. Our audits are tailored to your needs – for example, checking the accuracy of closing balance sheets, earnings projections, or corporate financial reporting – and ensure the necessary reliability for the parties involved.
Are you planning to restructure your company or group? We can assist you as auditors for the process, and prepare the necessary confirmations.
