Audit for capital groups

Audit for capital groups involves an independent assessment of the reliability of the financial reporting of the entire group and the correctness of settlements between its units.

Grażyna Janowicz performs audits of capital groups, covering parent companies, subsidiaries and consolidated financial statements, ensuring a coherent picture of the financial situation of the entire structure.

Auditing in capital groups requires experience not only in accounting, but also in the analysis of capital relationships, intra-group transactions and data consolidation.

The specificity of auditing in capital groups

A group audit differs significantly from an audit of an individual company. It requires, among other things:

• analysis of the group structure and capital links,

• assessment of accounting principles applied in individual entities,

• verification of intra-group transactions and settlements,

• analysis of the principles of consolidation of financial data,

• identification of risks at the group level.

A properly conducted audit allows for a coherent and reliable picture of the financial situation of a capital group , and not just the sum of data from individual companies.

When is an audit for capital groups required or recommended?

An audit for capital groups is required or particularly recommended in the case of:

• the obligation to audit the consolidated financial statements,

• the existence of a parent entity preparing the consolidation,

• financing of the group by banks or financial institutions,

• planned investments or restructuring in the group,

• changes in the ownership structure,

• entry of an investor or sale of part of the group.

Audit scope for capital groups

The scope of the audit is adapted to the structure and needs of the capital group and may include, among others:

• audit of financial statements of subsidiaries,

• audit of the financial statements of the parent company,

• audit of the consolidated financial statements,

• verification of the rules for consolidation and intra-group elimination,

• analysis of significant transactions between companies,

• assessment of financial and tax risks at the group level,

• preparation of opinions and audit reports.

The scope of work is determined individually each time, taking into account statutory requirements and the expectations of owners and financial institutions.

Audit as a tool for organizing the group

Auditing for capital groups often serves an organizing and standardizing function. It allows for:

• unify accounting principles across group companies,

• organize intra-group transactions and settlements,
