Independent financial assurance provides confidence to shareholders, lenders, regulators and management regarding the integrity of financial information and the effectiveness of reporting processes.

Percept supports organisations in preparing for statutory and other assurance engagements by strengthening financial close processes, reconciliations, schedules, documentation and management responses. We also assist in coordinating information between finance teams, management and statutory auditors so that issues are identified and addressed in a timely manner.

Our involvement can include accounting review, audit preparedness, financial statement support, internal financial control documentation and closure of audit observations. The objective is to minimise year-end surprises and improve the overall quality of financial reporting.

Statutory audits, attest functions and certifications reserved for Chartered Accountants or other regulated professionals are undertaken only through appropriately eligible professionals or firms in accordance with applicable professional standards.
