2. “The financial statements are the responsibility of management,” always appear
prominently in most of the auditor’s communications, including the audit report and
eventually the preparation for the statutory audit will be always challenging for the
management.
The management and accounting staff often do not have the time or expertise to prepare
accurate financial statements and audit file or answer all the questions that arise during
the audit by statutory auditors. Many times, this results in inefficient audit, and a less
than satisfying experience for everyone involved in this process.
HLB HAMT has an experienced team of professionals, who have exposure in different
industry segments, deep knowledge in IFRS Framework and familiarity with international
standards on auditing and quality assurance.
