Special audit services and certifications

Special audit services and certifications are increasingly growing in significance as they provide confidence and trust. Based on our sector and trade expertise, our independent specialists evaluate and report on matters such as the correctness of information or the suitability and effectiveness of processes.

Irrespective of whether you are compiling information for recipients within or outside your company – special audit services provide increased credibility through our certifications. That boosts confidence and generates competitive advantages.

We tailor our special audit services to suit your needs – depending on the information concerned, the level of reliability required by you and the expectations of your recipients. We offer you a complete range of assurance engagements, expert reports and agreed-upon procedure reports.

An example is the certification type IDW PS 480/490 which allows the audit of a specifically defined financial component (e.g. a consolidated balance sheet). Investors and companies place a great deal of value on these certifications as the audited component can be restricted to the information which is of significance for the investors.
