Special Edition Webinar: Audits – The necessary evil – so how do we prepare??
Auditing has become a specialist part of the accounting world and has changed significantly in recent years. Finding an auditor can be difficult, even for a small organisation and the costs can seem high. So how can we best prepare for an audit (or avoid one if we can!)?
Description
In this webinar we will discuss:
- A high-level overview of what an audit process involves and why it has become more complicated than in the past
- An outline of why auditors ask for certain information and have specific questions etc
- How you can best prepare for an audit – to make the process as smooth as possible (and maybe keep some costs down)
- What the alternatives might be to having an audit
There will be plenty of time for some Q & A and interaction on the above and any other audit related issues.
