A member of our team summed it up best:
‘In order to conduct a smooth running audit process, firms must be open and candid – hiding concerns and issues from an auditor does not allow for an open and honest audit, the disguising or concealment of any self-identified issues therefore minimises the effectiveness of the audit and maximises the amount of time the auditors need to spend on-site. Transparency is key in order to limit the disruption to the firm’s operations and increase the likelihood of the auditors’ work providing reliable outcomes’.
