Asset management – audit

Asset managers are under immense pressure to maintain a stable cost base to the benefit of the cost conscious investor, whilst becoming more competitive, creative and in particular adaptable to the ever changing regulatory landscape. Asset managers will need to be more agile than ever.

We aim to ensure every audit is designed to exceed national and international standards. Our experienced audit teams are trained to challenge management assumptions (with particular focus on the valuation of assets and revenue recognition) and give thoughtful insights based on a strong understanding of the business and the asset management sector.

We understand our clients' business operations, industry and the issues they face, in turn this enables us to provide them with relevant advice and assurance on their accounting systems and controls. The combination of our industry expertise and specialist skills allows us to anticipate complex business problems for our clients and recommend preventative action.

Through our extensive knowledge and experience in our chosen sectors we are able to develop industry specific audit procedures tailored to meet your individual needs. So your audit will be unique to your business, to reflect the specific financial, operational and regulatory risks you face.
