Audit and Assurance

Our Audit Approach

Our audit approach starts with understanding your organisation and the financial reporting risks it faces.

Overview

Focused on the risks that matter

Our audit approach starts with understanding your organisation and the financial reporting risks it faces. We use that understanding to plan the work, direct our attention to significant matters and evaluate the evidence supporting our conclusions.

  • Understanding your organisation

    We consider your operations, financial reporting processes, governance and internal controls, together with relevant developments in the business environment. This helps us identify where material misstatements could arise.

  • Planning the engagement

    We determine materiality, assess the risks of material misstatement and design the audit response. We discuss the planned scope and timing with the appropriate people in your organisation, while retaining responsibility for our independent audit judgements.

Obtaining and evaluating evidence

Our procedures respond to the assessed risks and the circumstances of the engagement. They may include testing controls, examining transactions and balances, obtaining confirmations, applying analytical procedures and evaluating significant estimates and disclosures.

We assess the reliability of the information used in our work and consider evidence that supports or challenges management's explanations. Where the evidence indicates that further work is needed, we adapt our procedures.

  • Involving appropriate expertise

    Complex matters may require specialist skills. Where appropriate, we involve professionals with relevant expertise and evaluate how their work contributes to the audit evidence and our conclusions.

  • Reviewing significant judgements

    Direction, supervision and review support the work of the engagement team. Significant accounting and auditing matters are considered at the appropriate level, with consultation and engagement quality review where required.

  • Communicating and reporting

    We communicate significant findings and relevant control deficiencies to management and those charged with governance, as appropriate. We evaluate the financial statements and the evidence obtained before forming our opinion and issuing the audit report.

  • Clear communication throughout

    A well-managed audit depends on timely information and open discussion. We establish communication arrangements early and raise significant matters as they emerge, while maintaining the objectivity required of an independent auditor.
