Why is a financial statement audit necessary?
- An independent auditor's report enhances user trust in the financial statements (financial institutions, potential investors, counterparties).
- As a result of the audit, the company owner receives an independent auditor's report on the accuracy of the financial statements and timely information on significant deficiencies in the company’s internal control system.
- Company management can improve the reliability of the accounting system by promptly addressing identified errors.
- An independent auditor's report serves as the best proof of a business's viability in purchase/sale transactions or for investment purposes.
Purpose of a financial statement audit:
- Enabling the auditor to express an opinion on whether the financial statements are prepared in all material respects according to a defined conceptual framework.
