The diagnosis
Start from your symptom, we'll name the audit.
“The bank wants audited statements before renewing our facility.”
External Audit
A statutory opinion lenders accept.
“Something doesn't add up, and I can't prove it yet.”
Forensic Audit
An evidence trail that stands up to scrutiny.
“We've grown fast — I no longer see every transaction.”
Internal Audit
Continuous assurance over processes and controls.
“Our donor requires certified project reporting.”
Special-Purpose Audit
Lender, donor and group formats — as they demand.
“The stock report and the warehouse don't agree.”
Stock & Asset Verification
Physical counts reconciled to the ledger.
In practice
How an audit runs from planning to opinion.
A statutory audit follows a disciplined arc. It opens with planning: understanding your business, mapping the control environment, and agreeing a timetable that works around your close — not through it. Fieldwork follows, conducted under the International Standards on Auditing as adopted in Pakistan: balances verified, samples tested, confirmations obtained from banks and major counterparties, and every request batched through a single list so your team isn't interrupted twice for the same document.
Assurance is wider than the annual opinion. Internal audit gives you continuous oversight of processes and controls between year-ends. Forensic engagements step in when something looks wrong — suspected fraud, a partner dispute, unexplained losses — and build an evidence trail that stands up to scrutiny. Physical stock and asset verification reconciles what exists on the floor with what the ledger claims, and special-purpose audits satisfy lenders, donors and group reporting requirements in whatever format they demand.
What you receive at the end matters as much as the opinion itself. Alongside the signed report comes a management letter: control weaknesses and missed savings identified during the work, ranked by risk, each with a concrete recommended fix — and we track those recommendations at the next engagement rather than letting them gather dust. That is the difference between an audit that satisfies a requirement and one that strengthens the business.

Questions
Before you ask
Straight answers on audit & assurance — and a free consultation for everything else.
How long does an external audit take?
Depending on size and record quality, typically two to six weeks from engagement to signed opinion — faster when our accounting team maintains the books.
Can you audit companies with messy or incomplete records?
Yes — our backlog accounting team brings records current first, so the audit starts from a defensible base.
Do you handle both Pakistan and UAE entities?
Yes. The group covers FBR/SECP matters in Pakistan and FTA requirements in the UAE — one partner across both.
Which standards do you audit under?
International Standards on Auditing as adopted in Pakistan, with financial statements assessed against IFRS and the applicable local reporting framework.
Will the audit disrupt our day-to-day operations?
Minimally — fieldwork is scheduled around your close, document requests are batched through one list with one point of contact, and most verification work happens off-site.
