Audit & Assurance Support
Strengthen Financial Reporting and Audit Readiness.
Practical preparation for external audits: reconciliations, schedules, documentation and coordination, so that your audit runs more smoothly.
Audit readiness, not statutory audit
H3 Global Advisory provides audit preparation and readiness support. It does not conduct statutory audits or issue audit or assurance opinions. Those services must be performed by an independent auditor appropriately licensed in the relevant jurisdiction and meeting professional independence requirements.
Overview
Better preparation, smoother audits.
An external audit is far easier when records are complete, balances are reconciled and supporting documents are ready. When preparation is left until the auditors arrive, the process tends to take longer, cost more and cause disruption.
We help businesses prepare for audit by organising financial records, preparing year-end reconciliations and schedules, reviewing documentation and assessing the readiness of internal controls. We can also act as a coordination point between management and the independent auditor.
Audit readiness support is distinct from a statutory audit. The audit itself, and any audit or assurance opinion, must be provided by an independent, appropriately licensed auditor.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Can H3 Global Advisory audit our accounts?
No. Our role is to help you prepare for an audit. The audit itself must be performed by an independent auditor who is appropriately licensed in the relevant jurisdiction and who meets professional independence requirements.
When should we start preparing for an audit?
Ideally several months before year-end. Early preparation allows time to resolve reconciliation differences, gather documentation and address control weaknesses before the auditors begin fieldwork.
What do auditors usually ask for?
Requests vary, but commonly include a trial balance, reconciliations for key balances, fixed asset and inventory records, supporting documents for significant transactions, and information about contracts, related parties and subsequent events.
Can you liaise with our auditors directly?
Yes, with your authorisation. We can act as a coordination point, tracking requests and making sure information is provided in an organised way, while the relationship and responsibilities remain between your business and the auditor.
