"A dynamic, focused and innovative accounting partner is critical to the success of any business" Kelvin Boyd

Audit.

A necessary function for any business. Most importantly it serves as the test of all the financial statements prepared by both private and public companies by statute or lending authority. This is true for any company whether they be conservative or innovative and bold in its imaginative approach.

By law, all clients must also have an annual audit of their private superannuation fund.
Of course, in our audit work, as in everything else we do, our approach is that no two clients are the same. So, everything in an audit is tailored for them, be they companies, high net worth individuals or private families.

Getting the utmost value and effectiveness from the internal audit function requires a full understanding of your objectives, risks, and risk management priorities along with the regulatory and legislative environment. As well as this there are the sometimes diverse needs of stakeholders including executive management, the board, employees, and shareholders.

Ultimately, these inputs all help to determine the risk profile and the required resources and practices for internal audit. At BVH we are able to advise and assist in the development of internal audit and risk management methodologies.

Financial due diligence.

It's absolutely imperative that any businesses involved in an acquisition - either as a buyer or seller - must be sure that the financial information at hand is as accurate as possible. Otherwise the transaction is on very shaky ground, putting at risk their governance and risk management objectives.

The quality of information available about a potential acquisition determines the ultimate success of a transaction. If the financial statements about a business do NOT reflect the reality then the deal may deliver much less than first impressions might suggest.

Financial due diligence can help to identify and focus attention on the factors in the business that will be critical to its future success.

At BVH our Due Diligence advice can help the buyer achieve a much deeper understanding of the target business and in turn, increase the likelihood of the deal achieving its objectives.

We can help buyers to identify and understand critical success factors, provide purchasers with greater certainty over the nature of the business and generally help you to reduce disruption to the business because the sale process is more controlled.
