Why is an audit important?

In addition to the legal obligation to have its annual accounts audited, a company must comply with the increasingly numerous and complicated corporate regulations and know how to protect itself from errors and fraud. Thanks to the procedures and suggestions of the auditor, the company can proceed with continuous improvement of its internal processes and its control system. All for the benefit of the company itself and its shareholders, directors, employees, customers, suppliers and authorities; in summary of the entire economic environment in which the company operates. Thanks to the audit, the annual statement can become a promotional tool for the company image. The burden of the audit therefore turns into a real investment.
