EXTERNAL AUDIT
External Audits are conducted in accordance with the applicable international standards on
auditing. Our professional approach to auditing involves strict quality control that means
maintaining highest standards of profession, adopting modern audit techniques and complete

recommendations and advice to our clients on the adequacy of internal controls, company’s
operations and management. We also ensure that such recommendations are conveyed to the
management in time to bring efficiency and improvement in the administrative and accounting
procedures.

approach focuses the processes and operational issues and a prospective approach.

foundation of future growth. These steps will help you find more ways to grow your business by
