HANLEY HUDSON
Our aim in Hanley Hudson, the audit division of the Aliwal Road Financial Services Group, is to offer your company a cost effective and thorough audit giving your business assurance in a number of areas. Senior audit professionals, who establish professional yet friendly relationships with you, your company and its employees, perform audits for our practice. We aim to offer you continuity from year to year as far as our staff assigned to your audit are concerned.
SERVICES OFFERED
Annual audits
We are able to assist you by completing your company's annual audit. An audit is required by the Companies Act for all public and private companies. The audit process gives you the assurance that your financial statements fairly present your financial position and the results of your operations. In addition it adds credibility to the information provided by the financial statements and this can be of assistance when dealing with South African Revenue Services, your bank and other users.
Forensic audits
A forensic audit is usually carried out at the request of our clients who are concerned about a specific area of their business. They are often investigations into suspected fraud within a business or into compliance with specific agreements relating to for example franchising or licensing.
Due diligence reporting
This form of reporting is usually required when clients wish to acquire a new business or company and require us to report on the accuracy or validity of the financial information they have been presented with to base their decision on. We base the extent of our work on the client's requirements and are of the opinion we can add considerable value to the client's decision-making process.
Special purpose audits
Besides the Companies Act requirements for all companies to be audited, there are a number of other pieces of legislation that require auditors' involvement. The major areas we are involved in are the audits of attorneys' and estate agents' trust accounts as required by the law societies and the Estate Agents Affairs Board respectively. In addition franchise and licensing agreements often require audit input, as do claims made in terms of the various incentives available to those in the manufacturing and tourism industry. The new legislation governing financial planning also requires financial planners to obtain audit reports in certain instances. These are all areas in which we can add value and meet your needs.
