AuditAudit

As a general rule, those that exceed certain thresholds of total assets, turnover and headcount for two consecutive financial years. There are also specific cases: for example, when a shareholder holding at least 5% of the capital requests it, or when the company receives public grants above a certain amount. We check whether your company is required to be audited and, if it is, carry out the audit.

It is an in-depth review of a company before buying it, investing in it or merging with it: its accounts, contracts, tax and employment liabilities, litigation and risks. It tells you exactly what you are acquiring, gives a sound basis for the price and allows warranties to be negotiated in the contract against whatever surfaces later. Because we have auditors and lawyers under one roof, the accounting and legal reviews run in parallel and reach a single conclusion.

We can keep the company's books, and we can also audit accounts. What audit rules do not allow is for the same auditor to verify accounts they have prepared themselves: if we keep your books, the audit would be carried out by another auditor, and we will tell you so from the outset.

There is no single method: the one best suited to the sector and the company's situation is chosen — discounted cash flow, multiples of comparable companies or asset value — and several are often cross-checked. The result is a reasoned value range, which serves as the basis for negotiating the price and for defending it before partners, banks or the tax authorities.
