Conducted by certified auditors with deep local and international expertise, every engagement is tailored to your industry, size, and risk profile — from statutory audits mandated by law to forensic investigations addressing fraud or financial irregularities.

We adhere to International Standards on Auditing (ISA), the Companies Act (Kenya), and applicable IFRS/IPSAS frameworks, giving your stakeholders the assurance they need to make confident decisions.

Our Audit Process

1

Engagement & Planning

We meet with your team to understand your business, industry, and risk environment. An engagement letter is signed and a tailored audit plan is developed covering scope, timelines, and key risk areas.

2

Risk Assessment

We identify and assess inherent and control risks across financial statement assertions. This shapes the nature, timing, and extent of our audit procedures.

3

Fieldwork & Evidence Gathering

Our auditors perform substantive tests, analytical procedures, and walk-throughs of key processes. We gather sufficient, appropriate evidence to support our conclusions.

4

Findings Review & Management Letter

Preliminary findings are discussed with management. We issue a detailed management letter highlighting control weaknesses and recommended improvements.

5

Audit Report Issuance

We issue a formal, signed audit opinion — unqualified, qualified, adverse, or disclaimer — depending on the evidence gathered, in full compliance with ISA standards.

6

Follow-Up & Ongoing Support

We track the implementation of our recommendations and provide ongoing advisory support to ensure sustained improvement in your financial governance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Under the Companies Act (Kenya), all limited liability companies are required to appoint an external auditor and have their annual financial statements audited.
