Audit
Audit services have been long associated with the traditional domain of verification and assurance. However, in line with the recent shift in global audit perspective, we have realigned ourselves and shifted our focus on creating value for the entities being audited.
The regulatory environment for corporations in Pakistan is growing in complexity and auditors are now in a partnership with their clients to ensure that compliance is made with the emerging needs of reporting and regulatory requirements. The business environment is rapidly changing and new challenges constantly create new opportunities. The stakeholders, particularly the shareholders, need accurate, timely, and reliable financial information to be able to make correct decisions in prioritizing the use of their investments and resources. The same information is also demanded by the audit committees who have to oversee the management of affairs by the company. Thus, the role of auditors can now easily be spoken of as assurance providers as well as advisors to various stakeholders.
At Crowe Hussain Chaudhury & Co., we are redefining our role so that not only do we provide the required assurance but also help the corporations to identify and manage the risks. We are creating value for our clients by helping them identify and understand the risks that so far have not even arisen to a prominent level. Since, competing globally, businesses have to be proactive in risk management, we are there to help them in this ever-complex process.

- Statutory audits and Reviews
