Foresight through insight.

Most audits sample a few hundred transactions and hope they are representative. We test every line. Data-driven procedures and IT audits show where a business is exposed, and where it is leaving value on the table.

The result is an audit that does what a good audit should: gives the board confidence in the numbers, and something useful to act on.

What we do

Three practices, one team. Engagements are staffed across disciplines so the person reading your IT controls also understands your income statement.

Assurance

Independent audit that is rigorous about the numbers and honest about what they mean.

  • External audit
  • Internal audit
  • IT and risk audit

Advisory

Specialist teams for the problems that don't fit neatly inside an audit.

  • Forensics and probity
  • Information and technology
  • Accounting, tax and payroll
  • Brand positioning and communication

Enablement

Training and capacity building for finance teams, audit committees and the next generation of accountants.

  • Accredited SAICA and CIMA training
  • Finance team upskilling
  • Governance workshops

How an engagement runs

The same five steps on every job, whether it's a listed group or a municipality.

  1. 1

    Understand

    We spend time in the business before we open a ledger. Interviews, site visits, the org chart as it really works.

  2. 2

    Connect

    Your systems feed our analytics directly. SAP, Sage, Pastel, Xero, or a spreadsheet if that's the truth.

  3. 3

    Test

    Full-population testing, anomaly detection and control walkthroughs, with human judgement on every exception.

  4. 4

    Report

    Findings ranked by what they cost you, written for a board, not for another auditor.

  5. 5

    Stay close

    Quarterly check-ins so next year's audit starts from where this one ended.
