Year end audit – voluntarily and/or legally required
My core competence is the year-end audit of companies (corporations, non-corporate entities and private limited companies) according to German GAAP. I’ve been registered with the WPK as an independent auditor for statutory annual audits in accordance with section 316 of the German Commercial Code (HGB) since 2017 and successfully passed my first peer review at the end of 2019. Quality in the conduct of the audit and other activities is very important to me.
Through my many years at EY and during my time of self-employment, I have gained profound experience, especially in the following industries:
My approach to auditing is in line with the risk-based audit approach, first analyzing risks from the company’s market environment and the processes on their impact on the individual financial statements. An understanding of the client’s business is essential for an understanding of the figures that are displayed in the annual financial statements.
The benefit for my clients is the receipt of a certificate (Testat), which confirms to their creditors (e.g. banks, suppliers) the reliability and correctness of their annual financial statements.
I stand for a high-quality audit – always focusing on efficiency and added value for my clients.
In addition to the annual audit, I also offer limited reviews, specific purpose audits, and audits relating to financial statements prepared for a special purpose.
