A good auditor will be a friend of the business, a person to...
...bounce ideas off and a shoulder to cry on.
The annual audit is a necessary requirement for all companies. However, handled correctly, it should be far more than a simple compliance operation.
The role of the auditor has changed radically during recent years. Today the auditor is regarded as a business advisor rather than someone who merely signs off an audit report.
A good auditor will use the process to gather a wealth of information which will be invaluable to the client company and provide an essential bedrock to major business planning.
At Grant Thornton we look far beyond the numbers to the strategy behind the business.
When we take on a new audit client our first priority will be to get to know the company and its key people. Only by working in partnership with the directors can we help them recognise their strengths and weaknesses and identify the best way of grooming and growing their business.
If you're looking for an auditor who will appear out of the blue once a year and produce the annual accounts then we can't help you. However, if you think there is more to the audit process than that, click on the links to the left under the headng Audit and Assurance for further information.
