Audit, advisory and assurance
Statutory external audit
Finegan Gibson are registered auditors with the Chartered Accountants Ireland.
External audit is an independent audit function that provides assurance that the financial statements of an organisation are free from material mis-statement and are in accordance with relevant legislation and accounting standards. Besides helping you meet the statutory requirements, we strive to ‘add value’ by taking the opportunity to review your financial and management systems. By focusing on key risk areas, we can often enhance business systems and controls by recommending practical solutions and enhancements that can improve your business performance.
