- 01Ordinary audits of individual and consolidated financial statements

- 05Agreed-upon procedures (AuP)

Why is auditing important?
In addition to the legal obligation to audit the annual financial statements, a company must comply with an ever-growing number of increasingly complex regulations and anticipate how to protect itself from errors and fraud. Thanks to the comprehensive procedures and the proposals of the auditor, the company can continuously improve its internal processes and control systems.
All of this benefits the company and its directors and employees, its shareholders, clients, suppliers and authorities. In summary, the entire economic environment in which the company operates benefits from it.
Thanks to a professional, value-oriented audit, the annual financial statements can become a promotional tool for the company’s image. The audit thus represents a profitable and sustainable investment in your future.

Why is good governance important?
Governance as a whole aims to establish an effective management and control system for the company. The introduction of governance processes in a company means preparing it for the relevant and critical challenges it may encounter. Such challenges include (but are not limited to) market crises, management changes including succession solutions, significant changes such as expansions, market changes, changes in the external environment, technological innovations, internationalisation, etc.
Effective corporate governance starts with creating an appropriate framework for the internal processes that should generate added value and security for the company and guarantee its continuity and long-term success. Particularly for companies operating in the financial sector, appropriate governance not only protects the interests of stakeholders but is also a necessary requirement for obtaining and maintaining the FINMA licence.
We offer a range of services designed to support executives, board members and business owners. This includes outsourced internal audit, compliance and risk control, corporate governance and internal control systems assessment and support in risk management and fraud prevention. Our experienced specialists assist companies in the FINMA licensing process as a manager of collective assets or as asset managers and trustees and represent them towards FINMA.
With the following range of services, we aim to exceed our clients’ expectations:
- 01Business valuations

Why is tailored advisory important?
The economic dynamics of recent years have changed market rules and force companies to respond to changes in a timely manner, manage the race for innovations, focus on shortening time-to-market and contain management costs. All of this without compromising efficiency and organisation.
In such a hectic environment, it is essential for companies to focus on their core business and rely on business advisory that can support with quick, concrete solutions. In an increasingly competitive and complex market environment, business advisory is in ever greater demand and is increasingly a critical success factor.
We strive to exceed our clients' expectations through a broad range of services, including company valuations, financial due diligence, business plans, financial advisory and strategic support.
Anyone who professionally manages collective investments or assets of pension funds requires a FINMA licence.
Through our partner company ASMA Asset Management Audit & Compliance SA, a company supervised by the Federal Audit Oversight Authority (FAOA), we are authorised to conduct the following audits:
- 01FINMA regulatory audit for collective asset managers
- 02Audit of compliance with licensing requirements for companies applying for a licence as collective asset manager under FinIA
- 03FINMA regulatory audit for companies with a fintech licence
- 04Ordinary audit of annual financial statements of collective asset managers
Why is regulatory auditing important?
Audit firms play an important role in FINMA’s supervisory activities. They are deployed as part of supervisory audits and act as an extended arm of FINMA.
The audit assesses whether regulatory requirements are being complied with and whether they can continue to be complied with in the medium term. The audit work carried out by audit firms is therefore fundamental to continuously verify legal requirements and to be able to anticipate future requirements.
Thanks to a competent team with many years of experience, we guarantee a high-quality and efficient prudential audit. In addition to verifying compliance with legal requirements, our proactive and pragmatic approach helps companies master future challenges and comply with regulatory requirements in the medium term.
The ongoing supervision of asset managers and trustees is carried out through a FINMA-licensed supervisory organisation (SO).
Through our partner company AML Revisions AG , we are authorised by all supervisory organisations (SO) in Switzerland (AOOS, OSFIN, FINcontrol, OSIF and SO-FIT) to conduct supervisory audits. We also conduct ordinary and limited statutory audits of annual financial statements.
Furthermore and also through AML Revisions AG, we conduct anti-money-laundering audits (as per AMLA, AMLO-FINMA) for financial intermediaries subject to a Self-Regulatory-Organization (SRO).
