Today’s stakeholders are increasingly seeking accurate and independent information on the health of the business.

In addition to compliance, audit and assurance services can serve as an opportunity for boards and management to take a step back and evaluate the organisation’s financial and operational performance.

HLB Mann Judd’s clients benefit from partnering with an exceptional audit and assurance practice. We can provide you with the technical excellence and infrastructure expected from a large, global firm, but with the personalised service.

With HLB Mann Judd, you get the best of both worlds.

Client service is our number one priority. Personal involvement of partners in all audit engagements is a feature of HLB Mann Judd’s service. Our partners are supported by qualified staff members who work as a team to complete assignments in a timely, coordinated and cost-effective manner.

We have been repeatedly recognised for our exceptional client service. This is evidenced by our clients repeatedly nominating us as Australia's best accounting and advisory firm at the Client Choice Awards.

How we help clients

As part of our assurance services, we provide recommendations to clients on process improvement and effectiveness of internal controls. Our focus is on adding value rather than telling you what you already know.

Our approach

Audit services are carried out for a variety of reasons. Our approach is tailored to be specific to your organisation and to fulfil the requirements of each assignment. We combine strong technical capabilities with relevant industry experience. Each engagement is led by a partner who is actively involved in the assignment and is easily reachable.

Although no two audits are the same, our audit methodology and approach are compliant with Australian and International Auditing Standards. Our audit methodology has been developed in conjunction with HLB International, ensuring a consistent approach to our engagements throughout our global network. Our team receives continuous training and education to stay up to date with the constantly evolving and increasingly complex technical and financial reporting and accounting standards.

We have allocated significant resources to establish audit best practices and promote good corporate governance. Our commitment to quality and transparency ensures that clients can trust the reliability of HLB Mann Judd’s audit opinion in each and every audit engagement.

We are also committed to delivering reports on time and within budget. Any issues that arise during the audit engagement are addressed on an ongoing basis through consistent communication, ensuring that there are no unexpected surprises upon completion of the engagement.

  • ASX-listed companies
