Our Premier Services

1. Audit and Assurance


Audit is not just a formality to fulfil a legal requirement; it is a necessity to shield business and
encourage it to thrive. We strive for early issue identification, open communication and pragmatic
resolution are the essential features of the approach adopted by our firm.

a) External Audit
We initiate through understanding our client’s businesses and its requirements. The firm's audit
philosophy is based on focusing to those areas that have the most potential for causing material
misstatements i.e. Risk Based Audit Approach. The firm is conducting mandatory audit of Companies
as required by the Companies Act 2017. These audits are conducted in accordance with International
Standards on auditing (ISAs) as issued by International Federation Of Accountants. We make sure that
our audit is effective and efficient with proper planning of nature, timing and extent of audit
procedures. For this purpose, we use modern audit techniques and adequate professional compliance
with quality control standards to carry out our audit.

We believe the statutory audit should be viewed as an opportunity to develop, not an overhead.

We also ensure to provide High End quality service to client, Therefore, in every major audit additional
independent reviewer is included to review and recommend any changes in audit approach if needed.
In addition, our audits are carried out by implementing the audit manual of the Institute of Chartered
Accountants of Pakistan (ICAP).

Separate from audit report we also report to our clients accounting and internal control issues
identified during audit in the form of Letter to Board of Directors or Management Letter stating
recommendation for dealing with key aspects of the issues. Such reports assist client management in
establishing effective and proactive internal control environment.

b) Internal Audit
As businesses grows further and further,
the need of effective internal control and
Control Environment become essential to
manage the business. The stated
objectives of any organization can only be
achieved by adopting a systematic
methodology for business processes,
procedures and activities with the goal of
highlighting organizational problems and
recommending solutions through our
internal audit procedures and reports.

Beerbal & Co.
Chartered Accountants

Our scope of internal auditing within an organization is broad and involve efficacy of operations, the
reliability of financial reporting, deterring and investigating fraud, safeguarding assets, and
compliance with laws and regulations.
Our methodology has following six steps:
1. Defining the engagement
2. Developing the risk model and universe
3. Developing the audit plan
4. Designing of audit project work plan
5. Execution of audit project work plan
6. Delivery of results and insights

This approach offers a cost-effective business solution that combines a proven methodology and
technologies to improve the way you monitor risks, assess controls, and develop solutions to achieve
your business objectives.

However, we also tailor our strategic approach to help our clients identify and understand specific
operational and financial risks; to define the level of risk the client is willing to accept; and to identify
and focus on the opportunities available.

c) Special purpose Audits


In addition to statutory audit the firm is also conducting special purpose audits particularly for
submission of financial statements to various authorities. These audits may be for various purposes
such as loan approvals, investors requirements, fund remittance etc.

Our staff includes professionals who are experienced in performing audits of Banks, DFIs and Leasing
Companies engaged in providing loans and other credit facilities to their customers. We are well
versed with Prudential Regulation requirements with regards to Audited Financial Statements of
prospective borrower which needs to be submitted along with LAF (Loan Application Form) to
bank/DFI. We are very well versed of credit risk associated with these facilities. Considering this we
design our audit procedures to assess and evaluate borrower's ability to continue as going concern
and honour its obligation in accordance with agreed terms towards bank. Apart from this we ensure
specific disclosures are included in financial statements with regards to lien/mortgage/pledge etc. on
borrower's assets and contingent liabilities which can assist Credit Division of bank to calculate
exposure as per guidelines of the Prudential Regulation of the Banks.
Our audit methodology focuses efforts on those areas of financial statements which represent the
greatest risk. This risk-based audit approach enables us to do effective audit and does not result in
excessive audit work thus efficiency is also achieved. Thus, we are able to manage both lenders and
borrowers to their entire satisfaction.

d) Agreed Upon Procedures


This is the nature of engagement in which the entity and the appropriate third parties have agreed on
certain procedures and outcomes. As an auditor, we have to carry out those procedures as agreed
between the two parties and to report on factual findings. The recipients of the report form their own
conclusions. The report is restricted to those parties that have agreed to the procedures to be
performed since others, unaware of the reasons for the procedures may misinterpret the results.
