What accounting standards apply to financial statement audits in Kenya?
Kenyan companies prepare financial statements under IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards) or IFRS for SMEs, depending on whether they are classified as public interest entities or SMEs. We ensure your financial statements comply with the applicable framework before issuing our audit opinion.
What is a true and fair view?
A true and fair view means the financial statements accurately and honestly represent the financial position and performance of the entity, in accordance with the applicable accounting framework. Our audit opinion states whether the financial statements give a true and fair view.
What types of audit opinions can be issued?
The main types are: unqualified (clean) opinion — financial statements are fairly presented; qualified opinion — fairly presented except for a specific matter; adverse opinion — not fairly presented; and disclaimer of opinion — unable to form an opinion. Most well-prepared audits result in unqualified opinions.
How do you audit accounting estimates and provisions?
We evaluate the methodology used by management to develop estimates, test the underlying assumptions, compare estimates to historical outcomes, and assess whether estimates are reasonable. This includes provisions for bad debts, inventory obsolescence, and contingent liabilities.
