Two companies can operate in the same industry, generate similar revenue and employ similar numbers of people yet experience very different audit processes.

The difference often lies beneath the headline financial figures.

Quality of Financial Records

Businesses that maintain organised accounting records throughout the year can usually provide information more efficiently when required.

Incomplete records can make transactions more difficult to verify and create additional questions during the audit.

Internal Controls

Strong internal controls can reduce financial reporting risk.

Approval procedures, segregation of responsibilities, regular reconciliations and appropriate documentation can all contribute to a more controlled financial environment.

Supporting Documentation

Invoices, contracts, bank records and other supporting documents help establish the basis of transactions recorded in the accounts.

Poor document management can make even legitimate transactions more difficult to substantiate.

Preparation Throughout the Year

Audit preparation should not begin only when the auditors arrive.

Regularly maintaining financial records and addressing unexplained differences throughout the year can make the process more efficient.
