A successful audit starts with good preparation

Preparing a financial audit may seem simple... until certain errors complicate the task. Here are the 5 most common pitfalls to avoid to ensure a smooth and stress-free verification.

The 5 frequent errors to avoid

  1. Missing support documents or documentation
    The absence of key documents slows down the task and weakens the analysis.

  2. Lack of consistency between operational and accounting systems
    Uncontrolled discrepancies between internal data and accounting figures cause problems.

  3. Ignoring previous audit recommendations
    Failing to correct previously identified weaknesses reduces your credibility.

  4. Inadequate or incorrect application of evaluation rules
    Accounting rules must be correctly understood and applied.

  5. Weakness in internal controls
    Neglecting internal control points allows for errors and fraud.

Key to success: Anticipation and collaboration

Good preparation, rigorous organization, and smooth collaboration with the auditors help save time, improve the quality of your accounts, and limit the risks of non-compliance.
