Due diligence reviews

‘Lesser audits’ still provide a degree of assurance provided by the reviewer.

Internal audits

Concerning the examination, monitoring, and analysis of activities related to a company’s operation.

Consolidations

Concerns the preparation and/or audit of group consolidated accounts and financial statements.
