We prepare and provide special reports including:

Financial Statement Audits (External Audits):

Financial statement audits add credibility to the implied assertion by an organization's management that its financial statements fairly represent the organization's position and performance. The objective of an audit engagement is to enable independent public accountants to render an opinion on the fairness of a client’s financial statements. The auditor or Chartered Accountant always follows specific procedures and guidelines for handling the engagement. The benefit of a financial statement audit is to provide reasonable assurance that management has presented a ‘true and fair’ view of a company’s financial performance and position. The procedures required for the financial audits include substantive testing of account balances through analysis, inquiry, inspection, observation and confirmation.
The opinion is given in the form of a standard written report which normally consists of three paragraphs. The first paragraph identifies the financial statements and distinguishes between the responsibilities of management and the auditors; the second describes the scope and level of assurance; the third contains the expression of an opinion. In addition to fulfilling the required audit procedures, we always seek to help our clients improve their internal controls. We achieve this through our ‘3 Step Approach– What, Why, and How’. This approach enables us to identify the problem, why it is a problem, and determine an appropriate resolution while keeping in mind the resources available to our clients.

Internal Audits:

Internal Audits play a crucial role in helping companies add value and improve their performance by anticipating potential risks and putting effective controls in place. With internal audits, it becomes easier to test controls and processes, identify weaknesses, and provide recommendations to overcome these weaknesses. We apply the latest tools and resources to ensure that your business is compliant with all industry-specific best practices and guidelines. If you want your company to operate with good governance practices, proactive internal audits are a great way to achieve that goal.

Internal Control Assessments:
Internal Controls are crucial to being compliant and protecting an organization’s financial assets. Although a lot of companies put these controls in place, they fail to consistently monitor them resulting in non-compliance and fraud. At The Kotamarti Group, we assist you with the full process of designing, putting the controls into practice as well as monitoring them on an ongoing basis. Give us a call today to see how we can help you reduce costs for compliance and mitigate financial risks within your organization.

Performance Measurements:
Being able to measure the performance of your business is critical to the growth and enhancement of your organization. We help businesses develop strategy so that key processes can be integrated into their performance for measurement. Accurate assessment of your business can help you reach your goals and objectives and ensure that relevant data is collected regularly through established reporting systems. At The Kotamarti Group, we can help you every step of the way to implement KPI’s (key performance indicators). Give us a call today to understand how we can help you with this process.
