Frequently Asked Questions

FAQ — Audit & Financial Statement Review

What is a financial audit and when is it required?
It is an independent examination of an organisation's financial statements, resulting in an opinion on whether they present a true and fair view of the financial position. It is frequently required by shareholders, funders, international donors, or by legal/statutory obligation.
Does ACG carry out audits of projects funded by international donors?
Yes. We have carried out audits of programmes funded by partners such as AfDB, OXFAM and Episcopal Relief & Development, with reports tailored to each funder's specific requirements.
What is the difference between an external audit and a review of accounts?
An external audit involves more extensive verification procedures (substantive and control testing) and culminates in a formal opinion; a review of accounts has a more limited scope and a moderate level of assurance.
Is the ACG team independent?
Yes. We issue a formal declaration of absence of conflict of interest on all engagements, in accordance with the IFAC Code of Ethics.
