INFORMATION WITH INTELLIGENCE
AI and associated tech tools are invaluable, but there’s no substitute for experienced interpretation. Our experts bring a wide array of appropriate skills and relevant knowledge.
We’ll adapt to suit you – for example, assisting your in-house team on an internal audit, providing long or short term secondments or a specialist team for your joint venture audit.
Organisations face increasing pressure and despite the best intentions, mistakes can be made. So pre-empt them with your own checks. We offer anti-fraud solutions, a safe whistleblowing environment and of course, you can absolutely depend on our clarity, honesty and integrity.
EXTERNAL AUDITS: COMPLIANCE, NOT COMPLEXITY
Your statutory external audit is just the baseline; we provide real value by drilling deep into your business, speaking to Partners and senior staff and understanding your culture. As well as the factual content, our objective, timely health check will help advance your plans for progress.
We team up with Crowe Global (through Accelerate) and TIAG (The International Accounting Group) to offer a seamless international audit service, with AAB acting as the single point of contact. We’ll coordinate your audit to satisfy both the UK statutory requirements and your group auditor’s reporting needs.
