It is becoming increasingly apparent that regular auditing is important to a business. Not only is regular auditing important to a business, but ethical and transparent auditing is the foundation upon which a business builds trust on all levels.

 

Regular auditing can provide your business with a range of benefits:

At the heart of any audit, internal or external, lies transparency. Nothing troubles stakeholders more than a lack of knowing the true state of the finances of any company they hold stock in.

A Banker’s Perspective

Both internal and external audits are necessary to keeping figures accurate to the penny, keeping lenders satisfied that nothing is amiss. Few companies never experience financial difficulties, and business loans are commonplace, so audits can ensure greater confidence among lenders.

Profitability and Taxation

The taxman can require an audit by the auditor of their choosing. One of the reasons why your company may wish to have regular internal audits is to avoid being scrutinized by the taxman.

Direction

Regular analysis of audits provides the metrics necessary for future investment and growth. Audits can show where losses are occurring and indicate reasons why a company is losing money. They can also underline areas of strength in which a business may wish to invest more heavily going forward. The purpose of being in business is to realise a profit and the bigger the margin the better.
