Audit Readiness: Why 10+ years of audit experience matters

Most companies enter their first audit with the same issues; tight timelines, escalating costs, a lack of experience.
Our Audit Readiness team was built to alleviate these concerns and is backed by 10+ years of experience as external auditors, with hundreds of completed engagements.

Why companies bring us in
Our support is crucial when a business has limited prior audit experience or when internal resources are overloaded. We know how auditors think, what they expect, and where the toughest issues arise.

Internal limitations within companies

1. Time
A standard financial statement audit lasts 2 to 3 months.
A first-time audit often stretches to up to 6 months without proper preparation.

2. Money
Weak documentation, slow responses, or repeated auditor queries directly increase audit fees.
Without benchmarks, many companies also lack a clear sense of fair market pricing for audit services.

3. Experience
Internal teams often cannot confidently challenge potential comments or manage auditor expectations.
They may provide 30 to 50 percent more information than needed, misread IFRS requirements, or overlook the detail behind auditor questions.
And since auditors cannot suggest solutions due to independence rules, teams are left navigating blind spots alone.
