This is where audit and assurance services come in – they play a critical role in validating financial information, enhancing decision-making, and promoting accountability.

What is Audit & Assurance? 

Audit and assurance services are independent examinations of financial records, systems, and processes to verify their accuracy and compliance with regulatory standards. While an audit primarily focuses on verifying the accuracy of financial statements, assurance goes beyond just the numbers, providing insights into the overall health and reliability of a business's financial reporting.
