Independent audit and assurance, delivered locally

Manawatu Audit provides independent audit, review and agreed-upon procedures engagements for businesses, registered charities, not-for-profit organisations and other entities across the Manawatū and surrounding regions.

We focus on quality work, clear communication and getting the engagement completed when we say we will.

INTRODUCTION

Assurance Only

When your organisation needs independent assurance, you need an auditor who understands the reporting requirements, communicates directly and respects the demands of you and your team.

Manawatu Audit is a specialist assurance practice led by Michael Smit, CA. We work with small to medium sized entities (SMEs), including for-profit and not-for-profit organisations using special purpose, Tier 3, or Tier 4 reporting frameworks.

Our approach incorporates the required assurance standards to ensure compliance and quality, which includes the latest assurance standard, Audits of Less Complex Entities, as practical and proportionate. We take the time to understand your organisation, agree what is needed at the outset and keep you informed as the engagement progresses. The aim is a well-run assurance process, with no unnecessary complication.

WHO WE WORK WITH

Built for the organisations that keep our region moving

Our clients are typically owner-managed businesses, registered charities, trusts, incorporated societies and other small or less complex organisations who provide value to our community. Our focus is on providing assurance for such entities, who prepare Tier 3, Tier 4 and Special Purpose Financial Reports.

Whether the requirement comes from legislation, a constitution, a lender, a funder or another stakeholder, we will help clarify the assurance engagement required and explain the process in plain language.

Audit Engagement

An independent audit provides a high level of assurance over an organisation’s financial statements.

Review Engagements

It involves less work than an audit and may be suitable where an audit is not required.

Agreed-upon Procedures

We examine specific information or processes and reports the factual findings.
