Understanding the business
By understanding the business, we offer high standard audit services tailor made to each client, based on the requirement of ISA (International Standards on Auditing) and the Auditing and Auditors’ Act of 1999. The detailed knowledge and understanding of your business helps us to tailor the audit to focus on any risk areas. This means that your business gets the maximum benefit from the audit process.

The Bookkeeping act of 2004
With the commencement of the Bookkeeping Act, bookkeeping rules have now been collated into single law and set of regulations. The new rules clarify current law and regulations, and include a combination of more flexible regulations and more stringent ones, compared with previous rules. Under the Bookkeeping Act, anyone required to keep accounts today will have to comply with a relatively comprehensive and complicated set of rules.
The purpose of the law
The purpose of the law is to ensure that entities produce reliable accounting reports (mandatory accounting reports) on a timely basis, and ensure that these reports and financial arrangements can be subsequently verified. The mandatory accounting reports should be specifically verified to be in compliance with the regulations.
The law encompasses requirements around inspection, the possibility of verification, all the way to the basis for the mandatory accounting reports. The law requires a two-way audit trail between mandatory accounting reports/specification of mandatory accounting reports/ documentation of the information recorded. Please note that it is a requirement that specifications are physically
produced. The law also requires all balance sheet items are separately documented at year
end (normally 31 December).
