UHY Haines Norton, your Auditing Specialists How much thought have you given recently to the way your auditing is currently being carried out? Are all of your boxes being ticked? Is the auditing service you’re receiving up to scratch, or is its quality being compromised? Are your auditors aware of the new compliance laws and regulations? Are you? Is the price you’re paying for the service you’re receiving fair? If you’ve answered no to any of those questions, you owe it to yourselves to speak to UHY Haines Norton. We’re experts at ticking all the auditing boxes.
Auditing expertise has never been more important – and we have it The auditing landscape in New Zealand has changed dramatically over the last few years. We now have the adoption of International Auditing Standards, the new PSI Quality Control Standard, and independent third party reviewer requirements. There are also onerous documentation requirements and increased levels of insurance costs and audit litigation.
What does this mean for your organisation? You need a UHY Haines Norton expert to steer you through the maze.
At UHY Haines Norton, audit and assurance services are a speciality. We’ve developed the capability to service our local and international clients to such an extent that our audit practice is now the fastest growing division within our firm. In fact, we’re now market leaders in acquiring new work! Our international alliance with the UHY network allows us to provide services to clients at all levels; so much so that recently we have become attractive to larger clients who are now questioning the value of the costs and services provided by the “Big 4”. They’re attracted by our professionalism, the very high quality control standards we set ourselves, and our deadline-driven ethos. They can vouch for our ethics and integrity, and are comfortable with our friendly approach. Most admired is the way we’ll always go that extra mile; our perseverance in reaching solutions. • UHY Haines Norton’s audit team complies with the NZ Institute of Chartered Accountants’ quality assurance standard, which means that we are also ISQCI compliant. • UHY is a global network of audit professionals which operates a robust peer review process and with a strong culture of knowledge sharing. • UHY is a young company, passionate about building and maintaining a great reputation. • We are also PCAOB registered and a member of the Forum of Firms.
Technical know-how for all Regardless of your organisation’s size, whether it’s a multinational corporation or a small, privately owned company, we apply the same rigorous standards to all our auditing tasks. The same applies to charitable trusts and non-profit organisations, especially when it comes to producing statements for funding agencies. The auditing of trust accounts, usually at the request of the NZ Law Society or the Real Estate Institute of NZ, is another area requiring technical proficiency because of possible concerns that may arise over the way members are operating the trust account. Likewise, the reviewing of financial statements, business projections, cash flows, and statements of objectives, particularly for private tertiary education establishments, are all areas requiring specialised technical prowess in this new era of regulatory requirements.
What should you do next? The best advice we can offer is to come and talk to us. Find out whether your organisation is required to be audited, and about the benefits and costs associated with auditing your financial statements. You’ll find it’s worthwhile.
