Audit 

In this economic climate, businesses, shareholders and stakeholders are looking for high levels of assurance.  The objective of KPMG's auditors is to perform with integrity and provide the robust and independent opinion required, as the basis for decision making in the capital markets.

 

An independent audit of financial statements is one of the foundations for the effective operation of the capital markets. Audit quality is vital for maintaining trust in the financial reporting process and the integrity of financial information. KPMG can provide independent audit services designed to help enhance the reliability of information prepared by clients in accordance with either statutory or non-statutory requirements.

We base our audit on six key principles to help ensure optimal service for our clients in the listed, private and public sector. These are:

 

1.   Technical Experience – providing transparent, credible, timely, decisive judgements

2.   Focus – a prioritised approach, concentrating on mutually agreed key risks

3.   Involvement – frequent communication and substantial partner involvement supports the early identification and discussion of emerging risks

4.   Insight – sharing our views and observations on business performance, based on company and sector  knowledge

5.   Coordinated – we work closely with KPMG colleagues, both in the Channel Islands and overseas, drawing on specialist knowledge where necessary, for example tax.  We are a local member firm which benefits from the backing, strength and support of KPMG’s global network of member firms.

6.   Consistency – strong central direction bring cohesion and co-ordination of our audit teams and enables us to provide a consistent audit approach and quality
