Walk into your audit prepared. We get your records, reconciliations and schedules to the standard an auditor expects — before fieldwork starts.

01The offering

What we do

We prepare your records, reconciliations and schedules for an independent audit. Readiness work and the audit are scoped separately. Where A4 keeps your books, a separate partner audit firm performs the audit or review.

Readiness work follows a simple sequence: we review your records against what the audit will actually request, report the gaps in plain terms, fix or help you fix them, and assemble the supporting file so fieldwork starts from evidence rather than questions. The result is a faster audit, fewer surprises and a lower risk of qualified findings.

Pre-audit health check

A structured review of your ledgers, balances and documentation against what your audit will demand — with a clear remediation list.

Reconciliations & schedules

Bank, debtor, creditor and intercompany reconciliations plus the supporting schedules auditors ask for, prepared and referenced.

03/ 03

GAPSME / IFRS gap analysis

We map your accounting policies and disclosures against the framework you report under, and close the gaps before they become findings.

03Who it's for

Companies facing a first audit, switching auditors, or tired of audits that drag — and finance teams that want fieldwork to take days, not months.

Independent assurance

Who performs your audit?

A4 performs independent audits for eligible clients, subject to engagement acceptance and an independence assessment. If A4 keeps your books, a separate partner audit firm carries out the audit or review. Your written engagement identifies the appointed audit firm, scope, fee and each firm’s responsibilities. Documents, requests and progress are managed through your A4 client portal.

From our case studies · iGaming

Audit-ready in eight weeks before licence renewal

An iGaming operator needed audited accounts for a B2B licence renewal but had incomplete revenue recognition documentation and intercompany balances.

We mapped revenue streams, cleared intercompany reconciliations and delivered audit-ready financials — the statutory audit completed without scope changes.
