Frequently asked questions

What is a financial statement audit?

It is an examination by an independent auditor of a company’s numbers to give an opinion on whether its financial statements are fairly stated and prepared in accordance with financial reporting standards. That opinion gives confidence to whoever relies on them.

What is the difference between a financial audit and a dictamen fiscal?

A financial audit gives an opinion on the financial statements. The dictamen fiscal (statutory tax opinion) gives an opinion on compliance with tax obligations. They usually draw on the same information, but answer different questions for different audiences.

Is my company required to be audited?

It depends on your case. Many companies are not required by law, but by their headquarters, a bank, their bylaws or a contract. We look at who is asking for the audit and why, and set the scope from there.
