Audit & Assurance Services



  • External & Statutory Financial Audits

Services.

Audit quality is vital for maintaining trust in the

financial reporting process and is essential to the growth of financial markets.
There has been increasing expectation on greater reliability, more oversight and clear evidence of internal controls by investors on the completeness and accuracy of information contained in a company's financial statements. With the strong emphasis on integrity and code of conduct.
DAH believes that our organizational culture has a significant impact on the audit quality, as well as a significant number of subsidies for listed companies. This is a testimony of our quality assurance services which ensures that our clients' financial statements meet the regulatory and business requirements.


  • Internal Financial Audit

The Internal Audit function is a vital part of an organization's sustained growth and is critical to its success. Based on our experience, we understand that your internal audit needs depend on your organization's size, complexity, scope of activities, and risk profile. DAH's Internal Audit Group can provide assistance in supplementing or developing your internal audit function so it meets the needs of your Board of Directors, Audit Committee, and management.

DAH's internal audit approach is focused on adding value, evaluating risk management, identifying recommendations for improvement in the effectiveness and efficiency of operations and key processes, and providing feedback on the governance process. Our certified professionals review management's current practices and provide feedback regarding the integrity of information, compliance with policies and regulations, safeguarding of assets, economical and efficient use of resources, and established goals and objectives. Our goal is to be proactive in identifying issues, control concerns, and procedural changes that will assist you in reaching your organization's objectives.

In addition to providing management with efficiency and effectiveness recommendations, internal audit can also assist the Audit Committee in fulfilling its responsibilities. From assisting in risk assessments to identifying areas of concern/special projects, management can better ensure it is fulfilling its responsibilities by supporting and working with an effective internal audit function. Development and adoption of adequate systems of internal controls do not just rest with management. Internal audit is a tool for the Audit Committee as it performs its fiduciary responsibility and oversight.





  • Internal and Process Control Reviews

DAH professionals identify gaps in processes and internal controls, allowing organizations to proactively manage and mitigate capital project and contract risks.

A successful capital project or complex contract requires a clear understanding of costs and requirements, as well as effective processes and internal controls for ensuring that deviations from the original scope are managed as efficiently and effectively as possible. In today’s dynamic environment, many organizations struggle to apply a consistent approach to managing their capital projects and contracts. They also lack insight into how well employees are adhering to existing processes and internal controls.

These challenges are characterized by:


  • Scope creep and excessive change orders 

  • Delayed completion dates without appropriate approvals 

  • Cost increases without appropriate reviews and approvals

  • Undefined contract administration processes that lead to a lack of bidders and use of standard contracts/favourable terms and conditions

  • Unresolved/unapproved change orders and disputes.


DAH’s professionals partner with you to build and implement best-in-class processes, procedures and systems which ensure better control. We conduct independent assessments of processes and controls associated with the initiation, planning, execution, monitoring and completion of capital projects and complex contract activities. We have a proven methodology to analyze and document processes, risks and controls, identify and document control gaps, and recommend remediation plans to improve your capital project and contract management processes. We also identify process linkages to key technology enablers such as project and contract management, accounting, and procurement systems, and train internal staff to ensure adoption. 


  • Review of Financial Statements

A review is significant less in scope than an audit.  In a Financial Statements review, we establish an understanding of a business’ organization, operating characteristics, types of transactions, assets, liabilities, compensation, and related parties.  We obtain evidence for significant items in management-prepared financial statements through inquiry and analytical procedures.  A review provides limited assurance to users of the financial statements that the accountant is not aware of any reporting problems.

A review may be useful to bankers, vendors, and other third parties who are familiar with your business, and would like some assurance from an external CPA for decision-making purposes.




  • Regulatory & Compliance Audits

Complying with the complexity and impact of regulations requires an integrated approach that leverages existing enterprise infrastructure and provides a path forward for compliance, combined with continuous financial and operational improvement. These requirements are supported by properly designed governance structures that provide clear definitions for requirements, guidance, authorization, responsibility, controls and communication related to regulatory compliance.
The DAH Consulting team has the experience and expertise to help clients develop governance frameworks, conduct internal audits to assess needs and effectiveness, and to understand, manage and comply with specific requirements of each regulatory program. Our team of regulatory executives is often involved in regular review and oversight to ensure that our client organization is continually meeting its governance and compliance objectives.

  • Compliance and Risk Mitigation Advisory Services.

  • Follow-up Engagements Services

To keep abreast of potential risks, internal auditors need to monitor the status of recommended action plans.

​In a perfect world, audit clients would implement internal auditors' recommendations after every engagement, leaving no doubt as to the status of prescribed actions. But in the real world, of course, competing priorities, budget limitations, and other factors often prevent clients from putting recommendations in place. Significant risks may remain unaddressed, exposing that particular area — or even the whole organization — to potential harm.

According to the IIA's Performance Standard 2500: Monitoring Progress, the Chief Audit Executive (CAE) needs to establish and maintain a system that monitors the status of audit results. An advisory associated with this standard, Practice Advisory 2500.A1-1, further states, "The [CAE] should establish a follow-up process to monitor and ensure that management actions have been effectively implemented or that senior management has accepted the risk of not taking action."​

To comply with professional standards, then, audit departments need to perform follow-up work. But how formal should the process be? What documentation should be created, and to whom should the results be communicated? How often should follow-up occur? Although these are all questions the CAE must answer, auditors at every level of the department also need to understand the process in the event they are enlisted to participate in follow-up engagements. 



DAH professional consultants and auditors needs to determine how often follow-up procedures should be conducted. While the appropriate frequency may differ depending on organizational culture, follow-up work generally should be performed often enough to provide the upper management, and the board assurance that issues and associated risks identified in the audit findings are mitigated adequately. As a rule of thumb, internal auditing should perform follow-up procedures at least twice a year.

  • Contract Compliance Advisory Services

Organizations often outsource services to vendors to assist with accomplishing their business objectives for reasons such as cost reduction, third party experience, a more economical or efficient labour source, as a supplement to existing resources, increasing customer reach and scalability, or enhancing access to new technologies or a known brand. While there are numerous benefits to using outsourced service providers, there are also several risks that need to be considered, including but not limited to: vendor agreements that are not in compliance with your organization's policies and procedures, service levels that are inadequate or unsatisfactory, overcharges for inefficiencies or services not performed, inability of a vendor to fulfil its contractual obligations, and loss of confidential information.

DAH's Control and Risk team can work with your organization to assist in evaluating compliance with selected contract terms and conditions, including vendor compliance with your organization's contracts and your organization's compliance with third party contracts. Our approach includes working with your organization to co-develop the scope of the review based on the risk factors most important to you; this could include performing an analysis to determine which contracts are most appropriate to review (e.g., based on risk, complexity, vendor spend, and other criteria).

Benefits

  • Identification of potential cost savings or cost recovery resulting from non-compliance with contract terms and conditions;

  • Independent confirmation of compliance with contract terms and conditions, including service level agreements and/or key performance indicator measurements and monitoring;

  • Potential for improved reporting accuracy;

  • Potential for increased consistency in contract language prospectively;

  • Potential for improved internal controls;

  • Ability to identify potential supply chain interruptions due to sole-source providers.
