We are currently the only audit firm north of Auckland licensed by the Financial Markets Authority, which provides us with the ability to perform Financial Market Conduct (FMC) and large entity audits. We are also a registered audit firm and are able to provide audit services on behalf of the Auditor General, bringing an exceptional wealth of experience to clients in key industries.
BDO Northland offers the following unique attributes that we believe sets us aside from our competition:
- Audit is our focus. We are not involved with everyday compliance work and our continuing education is relevant to our needs.
- We have an in depth knowledge and understanding of NZ IFRS and PBE reporting standards. For particularly complex matters we have access to our National technical division.
Audit
We offer the full range of audit services whether that be for statutory compliance, charitable requirements, funding purposes or upon voluntary request.
We understand the important role we play in helping Directors/Trustees and Stakeholders use that information with confidence. With our international methodology and software programs, we go beyond delivering independent financial statement audits to provide you with constructive ideas for improving internal controls, financial systems and procedures in your business.
Financial reporting
As auditors we have a natural predisposition to understanding and interpreting financial reporting standards – we work with them every day. If your organisation has a financial reporting challenge such as the adoption of a new NZ IFRS standard or transitioning to a new framework our team of experts can help.
Special purpose audits
There may be occasions where an audit is required for a special purpose. Examples of this can include Ministry of Education funding or reporting on a specific grant. These audits can be tailored to exactly what is required and may be a more cost effective option than a full financial statement audit.
Reviews
If your organization is small and non-complex but you still require some form of independent assurance a review might be a good option for your Board to consider.
Internal audit and risk advisory
BDO Northland work with a number of clients to deliver internal audit programmes. We report directly to the Audit Committee whilst working with management to profile risk and agree upon topics best designed to provide the appropriate level of risk based assurance.
