Audit & Assurance

Using technology, a dedicated team of Australian audit professionals provide assurance over information used by investors and the capital markets.

We provide Assurance advice to public and private sector organisations, building credibility around reporting and disclosures to stakeholders. We combine strong technical capabilities with relevant industry experience to provide assurance over a broad range of areas such as:

• effectiveness of internal controls
• confidence with key performance indicators (KPIs)
• management of contractual arrangements
• merger and acquisition (M&A) activity
• regulatory reporting and compliance issues
• effectiveness and reliability of corporate reporting.

We help businesses achieve efficient capital allocation, streamlined reporting processes, reduced reporting costs and enhanced organisation clarity. In particular, we help organisations embed material sustainability-related financial matters and a tighter reporting strategy to explain how an organisation uses all its key resources and relationships to deliver sustainable value over time.

We deliver market insight, offer education sessions and provide financial reporting alignment assessment, ready-for-assurance assessments and ESG assurance.

We provide pragmatic audit advice on issues in areas such as financial instruments, impairment of assets, recognition of revenue, leases, consolidation of business entities and financial statement presentation.

We can provide verification of financial and other information reported to regulators, for organisations obligated to or seeking out verification independently. Regulatory audit consulting services include:

• Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) assurance engagements in respect of compliance with prudential requirements and statutory reporting for Approved Deposit-taking Institutions (ADI)
• Australian Securities and Investment Commission (ASIC) assurance engagements in respect of the adequacy of compliance plans for registered managed investment schemes.

We support organisations to assess their readiness for assurance over specific data points or wider disclosures proposed under specific legislation, regulation or policy, and provide recommendations.
