Important considerations with regards to Audit

All Audits are conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing. These standards require that the Audit is carried out in accordance with ethical requirements and is performed to obtain reasonable assurance of whether the Financial Statements are correct. Optigma can provide a full range of boutique audit services through our associates in order to ensure full compliance.

IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS WITH REGARDS TO AUDIT:

What is involved in the Audit Process?

The major factor that is of upmost importance is the accuracy of Balance Sheet Accounts. Bank Balances at year end have to be correct, basically this means that the balance of your Bank Statement should be reconciled with the balance in your books.

To comply with this, we ensure that the balance is certified in writing by the bank. Additionally, we require that Directors sign a declaration identifying any indebtedness to or from the company.

Quarterly Reporting:

Optigma can provide any kind of tailored made financial management reports, either monthly or quarterly. For example, we can produce budgets which project financial results into the future based on customer feedback. Optigma can also provide Feasibility Studies for launching a new business or project. These in turn can be used for obtaining bank loans or for approaching investors for funding.
