Frequently asked questions about independent review services
These answers are general information only and should not be treated as formal advice for your specific circumstances.
Is an Independent Review the same as an audit?
No. An Independent Review is different from an audit and provides a different level of assurance. The correct engagement depends on the company’s circumstances and applicable requirements.
How long does an Independent Review take?
Timing depends on the quality of records, complexity of the business, availability of supporting documents and whether annual financial statements are ready.
Can SRD Accountants prepare the financial statements and perform the review?
This depends on independence and professional requirements. SRD Accountants will assess the circumstances before accepting or structuring any engagement.
What records are needed?
Typical records include trial balance, bank statements, reconciliations, invoices, tax submissions, payroll reports, asset registers and supporting schedules.
Do all companies need an Independent Review?
No. Requirements depend on the company’s circumstances. A professional assessment should be done before deciding what level of assurance is required.
