FAQ
- Does my company need an audit?
- Usually only above size thresholds (revenue, balance sheet total, employee count) or if investors, lenders or your governing documents require one. Thresholds vary by country — see below.
- Can my accountant also be my auditor?
- No — the auditor must be independent. A firm can offer both services but not to the same client for the same period.
