Is your organisation growing, changing, or are you simply ready for a different approach to your annual audit?
At Cadenze, we believe that an audit shouldn’t be a stressful, long-winded process. With a team of highly experienced people who provide practical advice and clear communication, we make the process efficient and straightforward.
And here’s something you might not have realised: changing auditors is possible, even during the busy year-end period.
No matter your organisation’s structure, the right audit team can make a significant difference. And we might just be the right team for you.
How Does The Audit Process Work?
One size certainly does not fit all when it comes to audits. In fact, every organisation can have very different needs. So before we get started, our experienced team will take the time to understand the makeup of your organisation, any existing audit arrangements, and exactly what is required.
Once we understand your needs, our approach is tailored to your circumstances. We can assist with everything from coordinating overseas group reporting to navigating the specific requirements of a not-for-profit, or managing statutory reporting obligations for an Australian company. Whatever you need, our senior team is on the job.
We also recognise that communication is vital for a successful audit, so we also work with your relevant stakeholders from the start. This ensures everyone understands their responsibilities and what needs to happen along the way.
All of these aspects form an audit process that is planned, coordinated, and far less stressful for everyone involved!
Who Can Cadenze Help?
Audit requirements can be very different depending on the structure of your organisation. We work with a range of businesses and professional advisers to provide tailored audit services that suit your needs.
Here’s where we can help:
Australian Subsidiaries of Overseas Groups
Being part of an international business means you need an audit team that understands both your local reporting requirements and your parent company’s expectations. We can coordinate with both a local team and overseas stakeholders to meet group reporting deadlines, and ensure your Australian audit fits seamlessly into your organisation’s bigger picture.
Large Private Companies
As businesses grow, their needs evolve. Often, your financial reporting and audit requirements can become more complex. Whether you need an audit for the first time or are reviewing your existing audit processes, our experienced team provides a comprehensive, practical approach that delivers what you need.
Not-for-Profit Organisations
Not-for-profit organisations have one particularly important aspect to consider: financial accountability. Accountability must be demonstrated to the organisation itself, the board, and relevant stakeholders. We understand the importance of meeting financial statement audit requirements while providing clear communication and practical guidance throughout the process.
Australian Financial Services Licence (AFSL) Holders
AFSL holders have specific annual financial statement audit and regulatory compliance assurance requirements. Our team can help navigate these obligations, including applicable ASIC reporting requirements, with an organised and reliable approach.
Accounting Firms and Advisers
Sometimes you need an experienced and independent audit partner to work alongside your existing accounting or advisory practice. This is something that we offer. We regularly partner with firms and advisers who need experienced auditors they can trust.
Why Choose Cadenze Audit Services?
When choosing an auditor, it’s about more than finding someone to sign off on your financial statements. Instead, you want to partner with a team that’s approachable, experienced, and genuinely invested in making the process work for you.
Here’s what makes Cadenze different:
1: Experienced People You Can Actually Talk To
You won’t be left wondering who to contact when a question arises. Duncan, our Director, and Kieran, our Head of Audit, are actively involved in the audit process and are available to you when you need to discuss anything.
You will be talking to people who understand your audit because they are the ones actually doing the work! With direct access to our senior people, you can easily discuss issues or concerns and they can provide practical advice as things arise.
2: A Plan Everyone Can Work With
Nobody likes surprises, particularly when deadlines are involved!
So, we establish clear timelines, information requirements, and responsibilities right from the beginning. This means everyone knows what’s expected, when it’s needed, and who is responsible.
Our communication is proactive and practical. If an issue arises, we’ll let you know, explain what’s required, and work with you to resolve it.
3: Support You Can Count On
We understand that an efficient audit relies on good communication and a collaborative approach. So, we work alongside your team and any other relevant stakeholders to keep everything organised and moving forward.
You can expect clear communication, practical advice and a team that’s there when you need them.
