Our Audit Approach
Our approach to any new client is to invest substantial time upon engagement to understand the client's business and needs. This approach is in line with the recommended approach to auditing under the new risk assessments standards.

Our audit approach will be divided into the following phases: (i) planning (ii) fieldwork; and (iii) reporting. We shall execute these phases in two visits to your premises. We will discuss scheduling of these visits at your convenience. We have standardized our audit process to include an initial visit with the client to learn and discuss the client’s business, its structure, processes and internal controls. We will provide two client assistance lists (CAL): one for the initial meeting and a second for the fieldwork.

Our first visit is part of our planning audit phase that is geared towards gaining a good understanding of your organization’s structure, environment, operations, and the application of the accounting and internal controls system. We will also review your policies and accounting for contributions, including donated materials and services received by your organization. We will review your interim financial reports, interview your accounting staff, and test some of those controls. We shall consider materiality, among other matters, in determining the nature, timing and extent of auditing procedures that we will perform, and in evaluating those procedures. We will provide you with a list of items needed for this visit, at least, 2 weeks prior to our visit. The other phases of the audit will be guided by the results and conclusions of the preliminary audit phase.

At our second visit, we will perform the traditional audit fieldwork. Our request list will be provided 2 weeks prior to our visit and will be based on information that we gathered during our first visit.
