Common Questions About Audit & Assurance Services

Internal audit generally focuses on internal controls, processes, risks, compliance and opportunities for operational improvement. A statutory audit is conducted when applicable law requires an independent audit and report by an authorised professional.
Is internal audit compulsory for every business?
No. Legal applicability depends on the type and size of the entity and the relevant statutory criteria. Organisations may also undertake internal audits voluntarily to strengthen controls and risk management.
What is generally reviewed during tax audit preparation?
Depending on the applicable requirements, review may include books of account, financial statements, income and expense records, statutory dues, specified transactions, reconciliations and supporting schedules required for the tax audit.

Yes. Assistance may include organising books and records, preparing schedules, completing reconciliations, identifying documentation gaps and coordinating information required for the audit, subject to applicable independence requirements.
