Ashfords Audit and Assurance
Financial Audit Services
Accurate reporting builds confidence.
Reliable financial statements are central to trust. Whether for compliance, governance, or future transactions, an audit provides the clarity stakeholders need to act with confidence.
With regulations that continue to evolve and the expectations of investors, lenders, and boards increasing, audited statements demonstrate discipline, integrity, and transparency.
A financial audit is more than a compliance exercise. Done well, it verifies the accuracy of records, ensures standards are met, and highlights areas where systems and processes can be strengthened.
This turns the audit into an opportunity. In every case, the outcome is the same—financial statements that are accurate, reliable, and instil confidence.
"We required a new auditor for our special purpose financial statements and asked throughout the industry to find a suitable and preferably local accounting firm to perform the task. It was our great fortune to find Ashfords... I’m pleased to say the partnership has been a great success."
Brian Paynter
Managing Director of Victorian Livestock Exchange Pty Ltd
Ashfords Audit and Assurance — Financial Audit Services FAQs
Common Questions, Answered
What is a Financial Audit Statement?
It is an independent examination of financial records and reports to confirm accuracy and compliance with regulatory standards.
Why are financial audits important?
Audits provide stakeholders with confidence in your reporting, reduce the risk of errors, and ensure compliance. They also identify opportunities to strengthen financial systems and processes, adding value beyond compliance.
How long does a typical audit take to complete?
The timeline depends on the size and complexity of the organisation. Audits can range from several days to a few months depending on scope and timing, but our focus is always on completing the process efficiently and with minimal disruption.
Financial audits are essential, but the value they unlock reaches further.
Beyond audits, Ashfords offers a deeper view of performance to strengthen confidence across key areas of your organisation.
