Auditing: We provide assurance

We provide you with assurance regarding your annual financial statements and create individual and practical assessments of the opportunities and risks of your financial reporting. Our services are based on a holistic approach. We analyse and interpret the facts and notify you of the measures that need to be taken as a result. Regardless of whether you keep your company’s accounts in accordance with the Swiss Code of Obligations (CO), the Accounting and Reporting Recommendations (SWISS GAAP FER) or International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS): Our audit approach is based on the Swiss auditing standards (PS) and the International Standards on Auditing (ISA). As a government-supervised audit company, we have the highest possible accreditation. We are also affiliated with the international network of Urbach Hacker Young (UHY).
