The firm’s audit approach is based on the concept practiced by KPMG around the world by which an audit is based on understanding the client, including the industry in which they operate, the organizational structure, internal control processes, etc.Accordingly, the audit process does not consist solely of verifying the data in the financial statements with supporting documentation, it also includes analyzing the client’s business risks in the business environment in which it operates. In this context, the audit team examines the objectives of the business and its strategy, and analyzes its business processes, the risks inherent in them and the related internal controls.

The audit practice provides auditing services to a large number of companies, ranging from early stage companies to multinational corporations operating in a variety of industries. This makes it possible to create specific areas of specialization and take advantage of economies of scale.
