In this video, our CEO Mitch Hahn explains the importance of auditing and why having Nordens conduct one, may be the best course of action for you and your company.
As registered Auditors I want to explain that the importance of auditing cannot be overstated. A good Auditor is not only able to clear your issues quickly, but also helps you improve your company. Although the main reasons for a financial audit have to do with business and legalities which I have done another video on, you shouldn’t forget the psychological aspect is very important with other entities, such as banks, clients and shareholders. If you conduct regular audits, you will generate more confidence from the people you work with, as well as with government institutions.
So what is a financial audit?
Once an auditor arrives, they will conduct a full and detailed examination of your company’s financial records and any statements made by your accountants.
While it is possible for an audit to be conducted internally, it is best to hire an external expert (such as ourselves) who is not connected to the company, so that the report is as objective as possible.
There is a long list of reasons why away from legalities, you should have regular audits, but the most important ones involve accountability and good business practice.
You will have a detailed overview.
Once the auditors have concluded their findings, you’ll have the final report in your hands. From here, you will have a complete picture of how your business is working. Even if you have spent a lot of time ensuring your company has clean records and abides by every rule possible, there are bound to be small mistakes that should be corrected.
Additionally, the report will show you where your company is most stable. A good manager must know where to spend his or her time, and the first step in understanding that is to know where you don’t necessarily need to focus anymore.
Receive an Additional Perspective
People – including yourself – can be complacent, even in the best possible team. This can create significant problems in the future, which is why it is critical for you to conduct an audit as a preventative measure.
A good auditor will give you clear remarks on whether you are demonstrating full compliance and if there are any serious flaws in your system. They’ll also offer helpful suggestions on how to solve them. If you conduct the audit early on, it could mean the difference between your company flourishing and struggling in the near future.
Improve your Credit Rating
If you have a solid and expanding business, it is best for your bank, shareholders and investors to know everything about it. Having regular audit reports is very beneficial to your relationship with any stakeholder or financial institution that you have business with. Your business investors want to know the success your company is experiencing, and want to make sure that you are trustworthy.
Banks will be more willing to offer you more affordable finance solutions if they have definite proof you have the resources to repay it. That places you in the low-risk category in their perspective. The same thing can be said about investors, as increased confidence in your financial statements will ensure their continued support in your company.
Become more reliable…
If you own a larger company that has upper management or corporate investors, regular audits can provide reliability in your statements and inspire assurance that everything in your business is going as planned.
Even if you are a small business or just starting out, you will benefit greatly from the reliability your company will portray to the tax officials. They will be able to rely on your audited financial statements to reach their conclusions about your level of taxation or other matters from their area of interest.
Be certain where your company is going
With a professional conducted financial audit, you will have much more information about which parts of your business are going smoothly and which ones require a bit of tightening up.
For the areas that show no mistakes, you can be quite certain that you will not need to any further recalculations to your original business plan. Those that show significant problems, however, demand a closer look at how they are run and how you can devise an efficient plan before those seemingly minor mistakes hurt the company?
Promote Accountability
Additionally, you can use the auditor’s report to promote accountability for the managers and employees in your company. After all, individual employees will focus more on dependable accounting and management if they know that the company is regularly audited. They will also be able to correct any flaws in their own work while these problems are small, so they can make their work even more reliable in the future.
So having regular audits of your financial statements is essential for the trustworthiness of your company. Audits will help you track and solve any internal issues and will help you convey greater reliability to investors, shareholders, banks and tax officials.
Furthermore, thorough audits will give you greater peace of mind and will leave you with more energy to plan for the future.

Great Service at Nordens from a friendly very approachable team Particularly Kirsty Willis and Joe Sword who have been helping us since we started the business in 2016.
Director - Forma London
Nordens provide a first class service. We moved to Nordens last year and have been impressed with the level of service provided. Keep up the good work!
We've always got our ears to the ground when it comes to interesting, useful and topical information relating to business and accountancy.
We love making videos that break down convoluted accountancy jargon into plain-talking, actionable and accessible facts.
In November 2002, having sold our other business interests off earlier in the year, I decided to set up Nordens Chartered Accountants. The easy part was knowing how to do it, as I had established and built a smaller practice a few years earlier. The difficult part, for me, was not following the traditional accountancy path. Having run businesses, both successfully and unsuccessfully, I wanted to help business owners resolve their short term problems and work with them to achieve their longer term goals. Business has always been my interest and I love that I can help business owners achieve what seems like the impossible every single working day.
