Accounting Review Services

Q: When should a business get an accounting review?

Before a statutory audit, ahead of raising funding or a loan, before a business sale or due diligence, after a change in accounting staff or software, or periodically to keep books healthy.

Q: Will a review disrupt my day-to-day operations?

No. A well-planned review minimises disruption. Most work is performed on copies of your records and reports, with only limited input required from your team to clarify specific items.

Independent Review to Ensure Your Books Are Accurate, Complete, and Compliant

Even well-run finance teams make errors — a misclassified expense, an unreconciled account, a missed accrual, or an outdated treatment that no longer meets current standards. Over time these issues distort your financial picture and create risk at year-end. An independent accounting review catches these problems early, giving you confidence that your numbers can be trusted for tax filing, financing, and decision-making.

Our accounting review services provide a structured, independent examination of your books, records, and accounting processes. We identify errors, gaps, and control weaknesses and give you a clear, prioritised roadmap to fix them. This service complements our bookkeeping services, financial reporting & MIS, and Ind-AS / IFRS conversion to ensure both accuracy and compliance across your finance function.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an accounting review and how is it different from an audit?

An accounting review is an independent examination of your books, records, and processes to identify errors, gaps, and control weaknesses and recommend improvements. It is less formal than a statutory audit and is not intended to provide an audit opinion. Its purpose is to improve the accuracy and reliability of your accounting rather than to issue a formal attestation.

When should a business get an accounting review?

A review is valuable before a statutory audit, ahead of raising funding or a loan, before a business sale or due diligence, after a change in accounting staff or software, or simply on a periodic basis to keep books healthy. It is especially useful when you suspect errors or lack confidence in your current numbers.

What areas does an accounting review cover?

A typical review covers the general ledger, reconciliations, revenue and expense recognition, accruals and provisions, fixed assets, inter-company balances, tax treatments, and the internal controls surrounding these areas. The scope is tailored to the size and complexity of your business.

Will a review disrupt my day-to-day operations?

No. A well-planned review is designed to minimise disruption. Most work is performed on copies of your records and reports, with only limited input required from your team to clarify specific items. We schedule around your operations and reporting cycles.

What do I receive at the end of the review?

You receive a clear report setting out the findings, their significance, and prioritised recommendations to address each one. Where helpful, we also provide guidance on correcting entries and strengthening processes so the same issues do not recur.
