Audit and assurance services in the Czech Republic


Confidence in your financial statements

As your business grows, so does the pressure on accurate financial reporting, compliance with applicable accounting standards (Czech accounting regulations or International Financial Reporting Standards “IFRS”), and regulatory requirements. In practice, however, a gap often arises between the information management needs for high-quality decision-making and what accounting data actually reflects.

As an experienced audit firm in the Czech Republic, we help companies meet both statutory and group audit requirements, improve the quality of financial reporting, and strengthen trust in financial information.

Inaccurate financial statements, an unprepared audit, or non-compliance with regulatory requirements in the Czech Republic can lead in particular to:

  • regulatory penalties,
  • loss of trust from investors and financial institutions,
  • delays in financing, transactions, or expansion.

Financial audit in the Czech Republic

A financial audit is an independent examination of financial statements conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISA), with the aim of providing reasonable assurance that the financial statements are free from material misstatement and present a true and fair view of the company’s financial position.

A financial audit can be:

  • mandatory (statutory audit), or
  • voluntary, required for example by an investor, bank, or parent company.

The scope of an audit typically includes:

  • verification of financial statements (Czech accounting standards / IFRS),
  • assessment of applied accounting policies and significant accounting estimates,
  • identification of key risks and discrepancies,
  • issuance of an audit report intended for company owners and other stakeholders.

We support both Czech companies and international groups with operations in the Czech Republic.

 

Statutory audit in the Czech Republic

A statutory audit is a financial audit required by Czech legislation for companies that meet legally defined criteria or are part of a consolidated group.

We perform statutory audits with an emphasis on:

  • clear communication of audit findings and conclusions.
