Why hire a business auditor: role, missions, and benefits for your company
An Expert for Financial Transparency
Many business leaders are not precisely aware of the role of a statutory auditor. Yet, this expert in the legal audit of accounts plays a fundamental role in verifying annual accounts and ensuring their transparency. Engaging their services enhances the financial credibility of your company.
What does a statutory auditor do?
The statutory auditor is an independent professional who certifies the accuracy, honesty, and fair representation of the annual accounts, in accordance with Belgian legal provisions.
Their intervention offers several major benefits:
Strengthen the confidence of investors, business partners, and financial institutions
Certify the figures and validate financial reports
Identify financial risks and internal weaknesses
Advise on internal controls to mitigate risks of fraud or accounting errors
In certain cases, the use of an approved statutory auditor is legally required (for example: exceeding certain thresholds, SA-type structure, or large NPOs).
Why is it a strategic asset?
Besides legal obligations, engaging a statutory auditor allows for:
Improving corporate governance
Enhancing brand image with partners
Anticipating tax or social audits
Facilitating access to financing or investment
