The purpose of the Audit division is to provide independent credibility to financial statements, professional advice to management and solutions to improve systems and performance. BDO uses an international audit approach designed to focus on key financial areas and to provide clients with constructive ideas for improving internal controls and business systems.

To us, assurance is more than ticking boxes and ensuring clients are compliant with rules and regulations. It's about helping them ensure that every part of their organisation is fine-tuned to enable them to achieve business objectives. BDO’s Audit team members work closely with our Tax and Corporate Finance specialists. We strongly believe in the 'value add' that should be generated for the audit process.

Businesses can find themselves in trouble out of no fault of their own or it may be a result of one of the business units taking the entire organisation over the edge. No matter how a business ends up distressed, BDO can help make the best of the situation at hand. This may mean restructuring a business to sell or help it trade out of difficulty, or winding it up as quickly as possible in order to minimise further losses.

We ensure that the right approach is adopted and the best outcomes achieved.
