Our auditors provide you with a trustworthy assessment of the properly prepared annual financial statements, a reliable presentation of the economic situation and the opportunities and risks associated with your company's future development. As modern auditors, we seek to gain an understanding of your business model and business processes at your company. Building on this understanding, we use data analyses with the aid of modern software and digital tools to increase the reliability of our assessment of your annual financial statements. Understanding your company and your processes is essential to an assessment of the economic situation presented in your company's management report and the opportunities and risks to its future development. Our audit allows us to provide you with technical and organisational advice on how to optimise your structural and operational organisation along with your business processes in the form of a management letter – frequently accompanied by advice on the digitalisation of processes. As modern auditors, we leverage data analyses, processes and methods in the audit that provide the company with in-depth insight to aid in further corporate planning and the management of the company. Our name stands for a customised, benefits-oriented and pragmatic audit. An audit that is independent and thorough. With team continuity and decision-makers present on site.
Audit of the annual financial statements
Auditing services
A dedicated team of auditors is at your disposal for all questions and concerns relating to the annual audit. Moreover, one of our partners is always present on site. They make all important decisions quickly and pragmatically at ground level to ensure that the audit process runs smoothly for your company. We employ state-of-the-art data analyses. Our aim and objective? To help your company get traction going forward.
Auditing always touches on questions surrounding the charting of a company's economic course. It is about the future of the company. With dhpg, you have a partner at your side in whose analytical information and reliable judgement you can have trust and confidence.
Our aim is to provide you with optimum support in all matters with transparent and efficient processes. Wherever warranted, we rely on standardised, IT-supported procedures in order to be able to evaluate a broad database for you.
We offer you both a national and international annual audit. With our international partner CLA Global, we are present in over 100 countries around the world. One call is all it takes.
Would you like to get together in a personal meeting to discuss the matter of your annual financial statements? We would be glad to arrange an appointment with you – no strings attached – so we can get to know each other. We look forward to your call or e-mail and to hearing from you.
As an auditing company employing sophisticated data analytical methods in its audits and based on an understanding of your company and your business processes, we want to do much more for you than just certify the correctness of your accounts. As part of our analyses and reports, we look at your company's opportunities and risks, and thus "to the right and left". We view ourselves as advisors who coordinate possible issues relating to the financial statements for you – be it the challenges posed by digitalisation, IT security or data protection. Or matters that may emerge in dhpg's traditional core areas of expertise, such as tax or legal advice.
In contrast to a retrospective view, as is common in the annual audit as at the reporting date, a continuous and digital audit opens up a completely new perspective on the company. Opportunities and risks can be identified on a daily basis, while trends and forecasts can also be validated over the course of the year. With a continuous digital audit, data is imported on a daily basis. The role of the auditor becomes much more like that of an advisor. Managers and executives receive daily reports. This enables them to rectify incorrect postings more quickly and eliminate inconsistencies, for example. Together with its IT partner synalis, dhpg offers a preconfigured tool called oktant, which is placed on top of any ERP system and harmonises data from different systems. Incidentally, the German Chamber of Public Accountants (WPK) recommends the tool be used in its digitalisation compass. You will find more information here.
The IT system audit is an original element of an annual audit and is therefore closely related to it. Whenever a new IT system is launched, processes are outsourced or data are migrated, it is always a mandatory subject for the upcoming audit. Nevertheless, an IT audit can also take place outside of the annual financial statements – whether it be during the planning, testing or launch phase of a new IT system or as part of special audits when there are GoBD, KRITIS or ISO certification issues. When you outsource processes to external service providers, remember to also keep an eye on their internal control system from a compliance perspective so that you can be certain that everyone involved has the same understanding of compliance.
The annual audit for medium-sized companies and company groups needs to be more than just an audit opinion. It should provide the company and its management with important information pertinent to its further development. You can rely on a dedicated team of auditors and IT experts who are familiar with the latest analytical methods and like to think outside the box. In addition to national audits, we also organise transnational audits through our CLA Global network. The auditors at dhpg are active members of the sectoral association IDW and the WPK (German Chamber of Public Accountants).
