DCDM | Audit and Attest Services

In today's complex and dynamic world where :

Change is constant,
Relationships are virtual,
Assets are intangible,
Business risks are changing in number, scale and frequency,

traditional methods of auditing to provide assurance on the relevance and reliability of financial reporting and other assertions about your business is becoming increasingly obsolete. Traditional auditing was designed to detect errors, not anticipate them.

Today, problems arise quickly, often with devastating effect. When the greatest risk to value is not what has gone wrong but what could go wrong, you need a forward looking, risk based approach focusing on business risks and the quality of the processes and controls underlying financial reporting and management assertions to provide reliable assurances.

At De Chazal Du Mée, we implement Business Audit methodology which begins by understanding your business context and identify your business risks - the root causes of financial reporting surprises, misstatements and errors. Once we have identified your risks, we focus on assuring the quality of your key controls so that you can have confidence in the information you rely on to run your business and that others rely on to invest in it.

By focussing on business risks, the engagement team talks the same language as management and other stakeholders, hence aligning the audit with the way management thinks about and manages the business. This also fosters better communication channels between the engagement team and management.

Our audit services include:

We provide independent auditing of financial reporting and risk focussed reviews of business processes and controls. Deliverables include audited historical financial statements and reports to management or the audit committee on the quality and effectiveness of internal controls used to monitor business risks and improve performance.

We provide assurances on assertions your organisation makes to third parties in respect of the reliability of financial statements, the processes and controls used to manage and operate businesses and other compliance regulatory requirements.
