Financial Auditing
Stable background under extreme circumstances
Independent, risk-based audit services in Hungarian and international reporting environments.
Audit is not only a statutory requirement. Reliable financial information is the basis for shareholder, management, bank and investor decisions, especially when a company is growing, operating as part of a group, meeting international reporting expectations or preparing for a restructuring.
Crowe provides independent assurance while also giving management-level feedback on risks, control points and accounting matters identified during the audit process.

Where we add value
A planned, risk-based audit process
We do not treat the audit as an administrative check. Our work focuses on material risks, the reliability of financial statements, the control environment and the transparency of the reporting process.

Support for groups and international reporting
For internationally owned companies, Hungarian subsidiaries and groups, we pay particular attention to group audits, consolidation interfaces and parent-company reporting expectations.
Support for groups and international reporting
Feedback for management and shareholders
The result of an audit is not limited to the audit report. During the process, we also share observations that can help improve closing procedures, controls, accounting treatments and financial reporting.

when a transformation, merger, demerger, contribution in kind or transaction creates a specific audit need
when closing processes, internal controls or financial reporting reliability need improvement
when a change of auditor, rapid growth or organisational change requires a stable audit partner with international background

Frequently asked questions
When is an audit mandatory?
Audit requirements must be assessed under the relevant Hungarian rules, size thresholds, activity, legal form and any other special requirements. The exact obligation should always be reviewed case by case.
How is an audit different from an accounting review?
An audit is aimed at issuing an independent auditor’s opinion in accordance with professional standards. An accounting review or audit readiness assessment is usually focused on identifying risks, gaps and preparedness before the audit.
Can Crowe work with international groups and parent-company auditors?
Yes. For Hungarian subsidiaries, groups and foreign parent-company reporting, we support tasks related to group audits, reporting packages and international communication.
