    Audit & Assurance — Frequently Asked Questions

    How long does a typical statutory financial audit take?

    A standard SME audit takes between two to four weeks depending on book readiness and document availability. Larger or more complex engagements may take longer.

    What documents do I need to prepare for an audit?

    You will need bank statements, ledgers, invoices, contracts, payroll records, asset registers, and prior year financial statements. We provide a detailed checklist before fieldwork begins.

    Do you audit NGOs and donor-funded projects?

    Yes. We conduct donor fund audits and compliance verification for NGOs, ensuring funds are used in accordance with donor agreements and Kenyan regulations.

    What is a management letter?

    A management letter is a report accompanying the audit that highlights internal control weaknesses and provides recommendations for improvement. It is addressed to management and is separate from the formal audit opinion.
