Audit reviews
Background
Not all financial statements are subject to
statutory audit requirements. One such example is presented by monthly,
quarterly or half-yearly accounts which can contain information of
major significance for investors. With the aim of increasing confidence
in information contained in such reports, it is possible to have us
undertake a critical appraisal based on plausibility assessments.
Our range of services
By
this assessment we increase the reliability and informative value of
accounts without examining the financial reports in as intensive a
manner as for a comprehensive audit and without putting intensive strain
on your accounting department.
Preparation of financial statements
Background
Annual financial statements are a decision-making
tool for investors. High-quality, meaningful and transparent annual
financial statements in accordance with commercial law principles and
the regulations of the articles of association are therefore a key
instrument of corporate communication.
Our range of services
On
the basis of your accounting system, we draw up the relevant
information including the corresponding compilation reports. Owing to
our extensive auditing experience, you benefit from our expertise in a
wide variety of accounting systems and system requirements. We provide
companies disclosing their annual financial statements in the
electronic company register with comprehensive advice on all disclosure
matters or even handle disclosure for them.
