Audit

Our work approach is characterized by clear, timely communication and expert and early resolution of issues. Our global audit methodology offers you a consistent and high-quality service that ensures an understanding of your industry achieving efficiency and effectiveness in compliance with professional standards, laws, and other regulations.

 

    The financial reporting process and requirements must respond to our clients demands and needs as to their complexity and size.

    We provide financial statements users and stakeholders with a reasonable and full understanding of the reported and disclosed financial information of our clients; always supported by a Report issued according to the circumstances.

    Our services, in accordance with professional standards, include:

    Audit and review of financial statements

    We perform our audit work on financial statements in compliance with International Auditing Standards. We adapt our audit approach to the applications of other standards such as US GAAS and EU audit regulations.

    We carry out reviews of interim financial information, applying the Mexican standards of the Mexican Institute of Public Accountants (IMCP) (Bulletins 9010 and 9020) or the international regulations of the or IAASB standards (ISRE 2400 and 2410).

    Our experience allows us to perform audits or reviews of groups with foreign entities, as well as components in Mexico from foreign holding groups.

    The financial information that is audited or reviewed may be prepared under Mexican Financial Reporting Standards (NIF) or other accounting frameworks such as IFRS, US GAAP or accounting principles in Germany, among others, according to the reporting needs of our clients.

    We issue the ruling for tax purposes or assist in the elaboration and/or review of the Information on the Tax Situation (ISSIF) of the taxpayers.

    Attestation engagements

    Report on compliance of Social Security and Housing Fund contributions (IMSS and INFONAVIT). Our social security specialists offer a recurring review approach that allows us to timely respond to our clients for them to comply with their labor obligations.

    Report on compliance of Mexican Anti-Money Laundry regulations for entities of the financial sector. We have professionals certified by the National Banking and Securities Commission who assist our clients to comply with this organization and train their compliance officers

    Report on compliance with local contributions. Our audit partners sustain registration from a number of States in Mexico to assist you in the compliance with these regulations.

    Other Monitoring Procedures. Under these professional standards, we can provide a reasonable level of assurance either on specific financial information or compliance with contractual, regulatory or other pronouncements (provisions of the National Banking and Securities Commission CNBV, of the Mexican Ministry of Public Administration SFP, contracts of specific operations, internal control, etc.). We apply IMCP’s standards (Bulletins Series 7000) or IAASB’s standards (ISAE Series 3000).

    Other related services

    Agreed-upon procedures engagements. Sometimes an audit of financial statements does not give you the expected results when your interest is focused only on specific portions of your business processes such as collection, inventory management and control, treasury activities, suppliers and accounts payable, physical count of capital assets, etc. Together, we agree the verification or inspection procedures on these or any of these areas and inform you about the results and findings.

    The compilation of financial information can be the solution when what you need is simply the preparation of financial statements and disclosure notes that comply with an established accounting framework, without the need to perform an audit of financial statements. We take the information from your accounting records and assist you in its preparation, considering any possible departure in the accounting framework to its proper correction.

    We offer you other solutions in terms of financial information and application of accounting regulations.
