Compliance Audit.
A compliance audit checks whether your business is meeting its obligations under every law that applies to it: company law, income tax, GST, labour and payroll laws, and industry or state licences. We build an inventory of applicable requirements, test your filings and registers against it, and report gaps with the corrective steps and the exposure each one creates.
Typically 2–5 weeks. The number of laws, locations and years under review, and how well past filings are organised, drive the time.
A partner — a chartered accountant or company secretary — from the first call to sign-off.
