FAQs - Questions regarding our expertise

What is a risk-oriented audit approach?

An audit of annual financial statements must be organised in such a way that an audit opinion can be issued by the auditors with reasonable assurance. In other words, the risk of an audit opinion in the event of accounting errors must be reduced to an acceptable level. This can only be achieved if the auditor has first performed a risk inventory and assessment. This analysis serves as a precondition for the development of an audit strategy and an audit programme. A risk-oriented audit therefore involves planning and defining the key audit parameters in advance.

What can I expect from dhpg as an auditor?

In the course of our work with our clients, we have established a number of guidelines. Here are a few of them:

  • Understand your objectives, business models and processes so that we can provide you with optimum support in all matters, working closely with you to set up a transparent and efficient audit process 
  • Guide your managers through the audit in a benefit-orientated, pragmatic manner as equals
  • Provide you with a dedicated, experienced and qualified team that will continue to support you the following year and will always be headed by one of our local partners 
  • Wherever it is warranted in your case, to use standardised, IT-supported procedures in order to design the process efficiently 
  • Involve our international network CLA Global in transnational issues 
  • Discuss opportunities and risks with you during the final meeting 
  • Associated with this: a circumspect approach so that you can chart the best possible course for the future

Does dhpg's range of services also include auditing governance, compliance and internal auditing as well as elaborating suggestions for improvements?

In addition to auditing, important areas of our advisory services also include compliance, governance and internal auditing. Even if the concept of corporate governance is regularly associated with large enterprises, each and every company needs to have an understanding of good corporate governance. Responsible and sustainable action is also turning into a rougher playing field, with more stringent requirements for medium-sized organisations under current EU ESG guidelines. It should be noted that these rules also apply even if you and your company do not fit within company size categories, and are instead a supplier to a company affected by these guidelines. 

We have created a separate page on our services with regard to sustainability reporting, which you can find under this link. Just get in touch with us if you would like some additional information.

Does dhpg also provide support regarding organisational issues relating to modern finance?

dhpg supports its clients on the path to digitalisation. You will find a comprehensive newsroom with blog posts and online seminar invitations on this website. We know about the stumbling blocks when it comes to connecting different systems, accounting requirements and, last but not least, data protection. A few years ago, dhpg set up its own IT unit with these issues specifically in mind. Among the many advisors who are specialised in digitalisation issues, there are only a few who also consider the accounting side and the compliance issues associated with it. It is therefore always a good idea to talk to experts in this field when modernising your financial area, for instance in the case of end-to-end archiving.

Can I also count on dhpg if my business requires transnational advice?

As part of the CLA Global network with offices and advisors in more than 100 countries spanning the globe, we can quickly resolve the issues involved in an international audit. One call is all it takes. Our CLA Global partners are – just like dhpg – medium-sized consultancies which are professionally experienced and always provide you answers to your questions in a solution-orientated and pragmatic manner. This means you can rely on the same quality standard in auditing the whole world over.
