Audit and assurance.
Statutory and special-purpose audits prepared to IFRS, including for regulated financial institutions, delivered on time and explained in plain language.
What we do
An audit should leave you knowing more about your business than you did before it started. We plan around your risks, not a generic checklist, and we keep the disruption to your team to a minimum by agreeing the information list early and sticking to it.
Our partners have audited businesses from regulated financial institutions to retail groups. The output is more than an opinion page: our management letters set out what we found, why it matters and what to do about it, ranked by priority.
What's included
- Statutory audits of financial statements under Nigerian law
- IFRS-compliant financial statements preparation
- Special-purpose and regulatory audits
- Management letters with ranked recommendations
- Letters of representation and audit-readiness reviews
- Liaison with regulators and group auditors
Who this is for
Questions we hear most
How long does a statutory audit take?
It depends on the size of the company and the state of the records. For a small or mid-sized business with reconciled books, fieldwork is typically measured in weeks, not months. We agree the timetable and the information list before fieldwork starts, and we keep to both.
How much does an audit cost in Nigeria?
There is no standard price. The fee follows the size of the company, the complexity of the business and the state of the records. We scope the work in the first conversation and agree the fee in the engagement letter before fieldwork starts, so there are no surprises at the end.
What should we prepare before the audit starts?
A closed trial balance, bank reconciliations, and the schedules behind the main balances: receivables, payables, fixed assets and loans. We send the full list early so nothing appears mid-audit that you were not expecting.
Do you audit regulated financial institutions?
Yes. Our partners have audited microfinance banks, payment companies and other regulated institutions, and we handle liaison with regulators and group auditors as part of the engagement.
