Model Audit

If you are in need of financial modelling, it is key that your models are free from material error. Mazars will provide assurance that your models work efficiently and effectively.

Our reviews provide true commercial assurance of transactions by tailoring our review methodology and working closely with our clients.  Where possible, our preference is to focus on a replication methodology, reinforced with line-by-line checking as appropriate.  We believe this provides a superior approach to assurance. 

We are keen to work with our clients at the earliest stages of a transaction and our methodology can serve to provide early stage "health checks" as well as full opinion reports.

Our services are typically used for:

  • PPP / PFI / P3 transactions on behalf of  banks, monoline insurers and shareholders;
  • Corporate clients / investment banks requiring assurance on their transaction models; and
  • Clients requiring Sarbanes-Oxley-style reviews of their internal modelling capability.

Mazars’ Fresh Approach

Mazars’ fresh approach offers tangible benefits when compared to standard offerings:

  • We are confident that our replication methodology is more robust - we offer a separate, not subordinate liability to shareholders to demonstrate this.
  • We are prepared for the Competitive Dialogue process and will undertake reviews prior to bid submission, on a contingent fee basis, to ensure the robustness of your bid.
  • We tailor the scope of our work to your requirements- you will find our fees are highly competitive when compared to standard offerings.

Financial Model Audit

Financial models are at the heart of major finance transactions. We believe the standard approach to auditing these models is flawed. Our fresh approach offers tangible benefits for both senior funders and shareholders.
