Financial statement audit and review

We are equally comfortable working with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), German GAAP or US GAAP anywhere in the world, guided by international experts from our global project management team.

The unique structure of Rödl & Partner ensures that we can carry out audits worldwide to a uniformly high standard. Because we deal with colleagues within our own firm, our methods and understanding are shared, ensuring accuracy, consistency and speed.

We believe strongly in an audit approach geared towards understanding the risks of a business. We strive to give parent companies and their shareholders a full appreciation of the financial state of their business, as well as the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.

Recent discussions and new regulatory measures around the world have proved us right. More than any software tool, our approach demands highly-qualified and experienced people – in this respect we feel richly endowed.

Many years ago we addressed the issues that accompany our structure as a multi-disciplinary practice. Recent regulatory changes in many countries have rightly focused on separating audit and advisory services to public companies. But from our earliest days Rödl & Partner has adopted risk-management processes that prevent conflicts of interests.

Most of our clients, however, are private companies whose management and owners often value an integrated approach across professions. So we provide multi-disciplinary services to private companies, but in strict compliance to regulations in every country. Where the situation demands, we make sure a client has access to the best external advisors from independent partners.

Financial statement auditing is a complex process. But when it’s performed to our rigorous standards, it enhances the value of a client’s business.

We provide audit services for foreign-invested companies, but not by foreign investment desks. All Rödl & Partner all audit teams around the world specialise in audit services for local companies with foreign shareholders. Put simply, Rödl & Partner in audit does nothing else. Every audit professional working with Rödl & Partner is permanently exposed to the controls, reporting and communication expectations of a foreign shareholder.

We value the trust of our clients when they retain us to audit many or all their overseas subsidiaries – no matter how big these entities are.

Anywhere in the world, Rödl & Partner follows the strict requirements of locally applicable auditing standards and international standards on auditing (ISA). We take into account all current auditing, accounting, and reporting regulations and guidance.

Our audit clients include many medium-sized, often family-owned companies, as well as some major multinational corporations. We offer:
