 Chapter 02: Background of the Topic
2.1 Introduction
As the business world has evolved at a quick pace, the demand for effective audit and
accounting services has expanded dramatically. Businesses require trustworthy financial
reporting and analysis in order to make sound decisions, follow rules, and gain a competitive
advantage. As a result, there is a greater demand for high-quality audit and accounting
services. This literature review will discuss the importance of audit and accounting services
for businesses, the challenges that organizations have in obtaining these services, and the
future of the audit and accounting industry.

Overall, the purpose of this literature study is to offer readers with a comprehensive picture of
both the larger industry trends and the audit and accounting services supplied by HT
Advisory Services. This allows us to understand more about how crucial these services are to
the success of modern businesses.

2.2 Scopes of audit and accounting services

Accounting and auditing services are critical to a business's financial stability. They are
critical for assessing the company's financial status, validating the accuracy of financial
documentation, and detecting potential fraud. Audit and accounting services have evolved
and expanded throughout time. This article looks at the various types of audit and accounting
services and how they affect a company's ability to maintain financial stability.

External Audit

External audit is the most common type of audit and accounting service. It is the objective
assessment of a company's financial accounts by a third-party auditor. External audits are
undertaken on an annual basis or in accordance with the company's regulatory obligations.
External audits include examining the company's internal controls, assessing whether
accounting laws and regulations are being followed, and determining the truth and
completeness of financial statements.

Firms benefit from external auditing services in a variety of ways. First and foremost, they
lend credibility to a company's financial statements, convincing stakeholders such as
investors and lenders that the information is accurate and reliable. External audits can also
identify areas where the company's financial controls are lacking, allowing management to

15 | P a g e
take corrective action. Finally, external audits can detect fraudulent conduct, preventing both
financial loss and reputational injury.

Internal Audit

Internal audit is another critical aspect of audit and accounting services. Internal controls,
methods, and systems of a corporation are objectively examined. Internal audits are
performed by an internal audit team that reports directly to the board of directors or senior
management. Internal audits are performed to assess the effectiveness of internal controls,
analyze the firm's risk management approaches, and ensure that business rules and
procedures are followed.

Internal audits can help businesses in a variety of ways. Initially, they provide an unbiased
assessment of a company's operations, highlighting areas where the organization might
improve its effectiveness and efficiency. Second, internal audits can assist management in
identifying risks and developing plans to mitigate them. Internal audits can also reduce the
risk of fraud and compliance violations by verifying that corporate policies and procedures
are followed.

Accounting for Crime

Financial crime investigation is a special field of audit and accounting services known as
forensic accounting. Forensic accountants use their knowledge of accounting and financial
principles to examine financial data, detect fraud, and provide expert testimony in court
(Alshurafat, Al, and Mansour, 2021). Forensic accounting is the investigation of financial
crimes such as securities fraud, money laundering, and embezzlement.

Forensic accounting services can benefit businesses in a variety of ways. They can detect
financial fraud and then assist firms in retrieving stolen property. Second, they can provide
expert testimony in court, which will benefit the company's case and increase the likelihood
of a successful outcome. Finally, forensic accounting can help organizations tighten their
internal controls and avoid additional financial crimes.

Management Suggestions

Management consulting is a subcategory of audit and accounting services that tries to

increase a company's productivity and efficiency. Management consultants can identify areas
where a firm may boost productivity and profit by applying their understanding of

16 | P a g e
accounting, finance, and business strategy. Management consulting encompasses conducting
market research, developing company strategy, and putting improvement plans into action.

Management consulting services benefit businesses in a variety of ways. They can first aid
organizations in identifying new market opportunities and developing strategies to capitalize
on them. Second, they can improve a company's efficiency and profitability by identifying
possibilities to minimize costs or increase revenue. Finally, management consulting may
provide firms with the expertise and resources they require to remain competitive in a rapidly
changing market.

Financial reporting: Another area of audit and accounting services is financial reporting The
primary goal of financial reporting is to provide stakeholders with accurate and transparent
financial information. This includes investors, creditors, authorities, and other interested
parties. Audit and accounting services are critical to the accuracy, completeness, and
trustworthiness of financial accounts. These services provide assurance that financial
information is presented fairly and in accordance with accounting standards and regulations,
and they aid in the identification of potential errors, omissions, or misstatements in financial
reports.

Risk management: Audit and accounting services also include risk management. Companies
face a number of risks, including operational, reputational, and financial concerns. Effective
risk management is critical for businesses to maintain stability, profitability, and growth
(Sierra, et al., 2019). Companies can utilize audit and accounting services to identify and
evaluate risks, as well as build risk management plans and track the progress of those plans
over time.

Taxation: Taxation is another important aspect of audit and accounting services. Companies
that break tax laws face harsh penalties because they are complex and constantly changing.
Audit and accounting services help firms comply with tax regulations, reduce tax costs, and
identify tax-saving options. These services also aid organizations in developing tax planning
strategies that complement their overall corporate objectives.

2.3 Importance of accounting and auditing services for businesses.

Auditing and accounting services are critical to a company's financial management. These
services help to ensure that a company's financial statements are accurate and trustworthy,
and that it complies with all applicable laws and regulations.

17 | P a g e
Audit and accounting services are required by businesses for a variety of reasons. First and
foremost, these services help to improve the accuracy and trustworthiness of financial
accounts (Bonyuet, 2020). Accounting professionals can assist in ensuring that financial
statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting standards by
conducting audits and reviews that can help them detect errors and anomalies in financial
statements. Because investors and lenders rely heavily on financial statements when making
investment or loan decisions, this is especially important for firms that are publicly listed or
seeking financing.

Second, audit and accounting services help businesses comply with applicable rules and
regulations. Accounting specialists can assist in ensuring that the business is in compliance
with the various laws and regulations that apply to businesses because they are aware of
them. This can include ensuring that tax returns are done correctly and on time, financial
statements are created in accordance with current accounting standards, and the company is
in compliance with other regulations, such as those controlling labor or environmental policy.

Another key benefit of audit and accounting services is the ability to identify areas where the
company's financial management systems might be improved. Accounting professionals, for
example, may identify opportunities for cost savings, improved cash flow management, or
tax plan optimization for the company. Accounting specialists can work closely with the
management team to develop strategies and procedures that will help the organization
function more successfully and efficiently.

Audit and accounting services can also ensure the correctness and dependability of the
company's financial statements to stakeholders (Wuttichindanon, and Issarawornrawanich,
2020). Businesses that operate in industries that are heavily regulated or subject to public
scrutiny may find this to be especially important. Audit and accounting services can help to
develop shareholder trust and confidence, as well as protect a company's reputation, by
providing an unbiased examination of its financial statements.

Finally, it should be mentioned that audit and accounting services are critical to a company's
financial management. These services help to ensure that financial statements are accurate
and trustworthy, that the business is operating profitably, and that all applicable rules and
regulations are followed. Accounting specialists may help identify areas where the company's
financial management practices can be improved and can reassure stakeholders that the
company's financial statements are accurate and reliable by working closely with the

18 | P a g e
management team. By utilizing audit and accounting services, businesses can benefit from
improved financial reporting, higher regulatory compliance, and increased stakeholder
confidence.

2.4 The challenges that businesses face when seeking auditing and accounting
services.
One of the most critical parts of efficiently managing financial affairs in business. Many
businesses rely on audit and accounting specialists to ensure that their financial affairs are
correctly managed. Despite the numerous benefits of these services, many firms face a
number of challenges while utilizing audit and accounting services.

One of the primary issues that firms face is the cost of using audit and accounting services.
These services can be quite costly, especially for small businesses with limited financial
resources. Even though smaller businesses frequently require these services the most, the cost
of utilizing them can be a significant barrier to entry. According to a survey conducted by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), one of the biggest barriers
stopping small businesses from employing audit and accounting services is cost (AICPA,
2018).

When organizations acquire audit and accounting services, they face additional challenges
due to the complexities of the related regulations and standards. Firms may find it
challenging to keep up with changing accounting and auditing rules. Because of its
complexity, there is a possibility that mistakes may be made, which might be costly in terms
of financial penalties and reputational harm. Due to the complexity of the standards,
organizations may struggle to find the right audit and accounting professional with the
necessary skills and experience to manage these obligations.

In addition to the intricacy of the regulations, organizations sometimes struggle to find skilled
audit and accounting specialists. Many businesses struggle to find skilled personnel who can
provide them with the high-quality services they require. The fact that many places have a
serious shortage of accounting and audit personnel complicates matters. The Association of
Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) predicts that the global shortage of accounting and
finance expertise will worsen over the next ten years (ACCA, 2020).

Another significant challenge that firms face is a lack of trust in audit and accounting
professionals. Trust is necessary in every professional relationship, but it is especially

19 | P a g e
important when it comes to audit and accounting services. Businesses rely on these
professionals to provide them with reliable financial information and assistance, and any lack
of trust in them can lead to the breakdown of this relationship. As a result of recent business
crises such as Enron and WorldCom, the public has lost trust in audit and accounting
specialists. Due to this lack of confidence, firms may find it difficult to obtain audit and
accounting services.

Finally, organizations require audit and accounting services in order to effectively handle
their financial difficulties. However, firms face a variety of challenges when adopting these
services, including cost, complexity, a lack of skilled employees, and a lack of trust in audit
and accounting specialists. Organizations must recognize and address these issues in order to
receive top-tier audit and accounting services to aid in their financial management efforts.

2.5 Future of Audit and Accounting Services

One of the most important elements shaping the future of audit and accounting services is the
increasing use of technology and data analytics. As a result of the development of new
technologies such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, and blockchain, the audit and
accounting sector is becoming increasingly automated and data-driven. These tools enable
accountants and auditors to process massive amounts of data in a timely, precise, and
effective manner, which improves financial reporting, fraud detection, and risk assessment.

Technology is also influencing how audits are carried out. Using data analytics, for example,
allows auditors to evaluate entire datasets rather than just samples, resulting in a more
comprehensive understanding of the client's financial status. Auditors can also detect
potential hazards and irregularities in real time using cutting-edge analytical tools, which
improves risk management.

Another significant change that is likely to have an impact on the future of audit and
accounting services is the growing need for sustainability and environmental, social, and
governance (ESG) reporting. Non-financial reporting on problems such as diversity, social
effect, and carbon emissions is becoming increasingly relevant to investors and other
stakeholders, in addition to financial performance. As a result, auditors and accountants are
expected to become more involved in reviewing and reporting on ESG metrics, necessitating
the acquisition of new skills and experience.

As the importance of ESG reporting grows, a new reporting framework and standard are
being established. The International Financial Reporting criteria (IFRS) Foundation, for
20 | P a g e
example, has launched a new sustainability reporting framework in attempt to provide a set of
internationally agreed reporting criteria for sustainability reporting. This paradigm is likely to
affect future ESG reporting and auditing systems, making them more transparent and
uniform.

Furthermore, the worldwide character of business activities offers significant challenges for
auditors and accountants. Cross-border transactions, foreign tax rules, and cultural differences
make it challenging to provide effective auditing and accounting services. As a result,
auditors and accountants must learn new skills and expertise in order to perform successfully
in this complex and dynamic environment.

Despite these challenges, the audit and accounting business will have several chances in the
future. For example, the increasing need for ESG audits and reporting creates new business
opportunities for accountants and auditors. Auditors and accountants can differentiate
themselves from the competition and provide more value-added services to their clients by
refining their specific abilities and experience in ESG reporting and auditing.

The growing importance of technology and data analytics creates new opportunities for
auditors and accountants to provide more sophisticated and personalized services. Using new
technologies and analytical tools, auditors and accountants may provide their customers with
real-time insights and recommendations that improve corporate performance and risk
management.

Finally, with significant advancements in technology and data analytics, the future of audit
and accounting services is undeniably bright. These advancements will allow auditors and
accountants to provide more effective and precise services, ensuring that businesses have
access to reliable financial data in order to make sound judgments. However, challenges will
be faced in the future by the continued growth of legislation and the demand for new skill
sets. Auditors and accountants must adapt to and stay up with the changing environment in
order to be relevant and valuable to their clients. Overall, the future of audit and accounting
services seems bright, with plenty of opportunities for growth and innovation.
