Audit and assurance

Dynamic businesses continually face new opportunities and challenges – both internally and externally – and they need to react and evolve to them accordingly. As a leader, be that a CFO, FD, owner, or an audit committee chair, you need assurance that your team and the business is prepared to meet those changes now and in the future, and that you understand the impact on your financial position. It is therefore critical you have the right advisors who can meet those needs.
For a business like yours, audit and assurance are more than simple compliance. When you combine the right team and experience with expert execution, they can produce valuable insights into your systems and processes, internal reporting structure and team. You also get a deeper insight into the broader issues you are facing, not only now but also in the future.
At S&W, our assurance practitioners combine a wealth of experience with leading edge tools and methodologies, as well as a collaborative approach to working with their peers. Our senior leaders are involved and engaged in your business, and together, we can unlock the advice that really matters.
