FINANCIAL AUDIT IN MÜNSTER
As auditors, we are independent, responsible and diligent
Since we consider our mandates to be comprehensive consulting and auditing assignments, we see our task in creating more value in addition to the independent audit itself. In particular, we can make advisory recommendations based on the knowledge gained from the audit.
Extensive experience in the preparation and auditing of annual, group and consolidated financial statements under commercial law guarantee a smooth execution of our audits. During the audit process, we accompany our clients with the demands of normal day-to-day business in mind and thus work as independently, effectively and resource-efficiently as possible.
The use of the latest auditing software and data analysis tools as well as the targeted, company-specific risk analysis and a competent and consistent team are the key factors for an efficient audit.
