Statutory auditors

The objective of the legal audit, certification or statutory audit is to assess the regularity and sincerity of a company’s accounts. The Statutory Auditor thus helps the company to prevent its risks, so that it can give a more accurate vision of itself in the long term. His mission makes him one of the guarantors of good corporate governance. 

Attesting the fairness of a company’s financial statements requires an understanding of its business as a whole (sector, issues, regulations, etc.), in order to be able to diagnose operational processes and identify risks. This approach requires the Statutory Auditor to have the analytical skills, critical thinking and proven methodology essential to certification work. Certifying the accounts requires, in addition to the experience of financial auditors, the combined expertise of legal experts, tax specialists and transaction specialists, each of whom contributes to the delivery of this “fair” opinion. 

Essential for the consolidation of the French financial statements in the accounts of the parent company, we are able to take into consideration the accounting principles adopted by the group to which the French company belongs. For this, a good knowledge of international standards is essential. 

As the auditor of numerous subsidiaries of international companies in France and present in almost all sectors of the economy, we are one of the leaders in auditing and statutory auditing for French small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), subsidiaries of German groups. 

We must respect fundamental ethical rules: independence, objectivity, integrity and confidentiality. Independence manifests itself in a state of mind that is expressed in integrity, objectivity and competence. As an essential corollary of independence, the quality of our work is at the center of our concerns. 

At the end of these missions and whatever the size or the activity of the company concerned, we issue a summary report in French, English or German according to the preference of our client. 

This detailed report includes, in addition to our remarks on the weaknesses detected during the audit work, recommendations for improving the circuits and methods, as well as suggestions for generating advantages in terms of competitiveness for the companies. 

Our experts rely on the reference frameworks in place in information systems governance: COBIT, ITIL, ISO27001, ISO22301. And our teams use the Caseware tool to carry out their audit missions.
