Audit & assurance

Our audit work provides quality, integrity, technical excellence, exceptional service and a broad understanding of financial and nonfinancial factors. Our main international audit engagements include:

• Audits of consolidated financial statements of companies with foreign operations whereby Flynth acts as group auditor
• Audits of reporting packages prepared for consolidation purposes, whereby Flynth reports to a foreign audit firm
• Other assurance and advisory engagements such as tax compliance services, transfer pricing and other tax advisory services.

Flynth has been licensed by the AFM (‘Autoriteit Financiële Markten’, the Dutch regulatory body for audit firms in the Netherlands) to perform audits and such, the AFM supervises Flynth. We stand for audit quality. This is also confirmed by file reviews performed by the relevant authorities.

Our role as external auditor is focused on providing assurance on the financial statements that you draw up. Added value arises if, in addition to performing the audit, we are your trusted advisor in the financial-business field within the limits imposed by our legislation. This role of trusted advisor is, in our opinion, an important part of our added value.

We believe good communication and personal interaction between you and our auditors are  a sound foundation of working together. What you may expect from us:

• Quality: our carefully composed engagement team members have a personal drive to support you with technical excellence, integrity and knowledge.
• Timelines: is all about taking responsibility, agreeing and adhering to realistic deadlines and keeping all stakeholders informed about all progress made.
• Clarity: upon commencement we define insightful and clear roles. We understand the importance of open communication and managing expectations.
• Stability and continuity: are important when building a strong lasting business relationship that is based on trust. Through our strict recruitment policy, carefully defined career paths and open culture, we can offer you an anchored team, who can shape your future together with you.

For specific examples of our role as trusted advisor, you can think of:

• Identify options for managing risks
• Pinpoint opportunities for effective and efficient operations from our audit work
• Inform you proactively about changes in legislation and regulations, including external reporting
• Identify other risks and opportunities
