Audit of financial statements

Audit control is an integral part of each company’s control procedures required for gaining the trust of clients and partners as well as managing the company.

As an independent specialist, the auditor assesses if the financial statements prepared by the company’s management give a true and fair view of the company’s operations. Although the auditor’s opinion on the correctness of the financial statements is primarily used by information users outside the company, during the audit process we add value also to the company’s management. In the course of the audit, this additional value is mainly delivered in the form of the feedback, which highlights the deficiencies identified, proposals for their elimination as well as suggestions for enhancing the efficiency of the accounting system. We present the main findings as a written report.

During the control process, we identify the risk areas, which may cause significant reporting mistakes, and develop audit procedures for these areas. The focus on the important fields enables us to conduct the audit in a more efficient way. The main criteria for choosing an auditor are an auditor’s qualification, trustworthiness, availability and experience. We conduct the audit control procedures in accordance with the international audit standards.

Cooperation with Mati Nõmmist began in the nineties. Our first company Cargobus was successfully launched and SEBE was about to start. We decided to involve Mati Nõmmiste with his company Rimess in building business accounting and financial reporting and auditing business operations. Time has proved this and we look forward to further long-term cooperation.

Agreed upon procedures

The company’s management or owners may need to control some particular report rows (accounts receivable, net sales, etc.), financial reports (balance sheets, income statements) or accounting field (payroll accounting or other field). In this case, it is possible to agree upon the exact scope of work with the auditor, without ordering a full audit of the annual accounts. As a result of such procedures, the auditor presents a report with a summary of highlights identified.

Procedures prescribed by the Commercial Code

special control
opinion on non-monetary contributions’ value control
opinion on the closing balance and assets’ division plan of a company under liquidation
opinion on merger and division agreements.

Due diligence

Due diligence is a detailed analysis of business, financial and legal state of a company. As a summary of the analysis, a report is prepared, which provides a comprehensive view on the company.
