A short overview of the general scope of each Audipec service. For the full approach — from scope to the added value of each engagement — see the How We Can Help page.
Independent Audit
Examination of the financial statements for the issuance of the Independent Auditor's Report, in accordance with Brazilian and international auditing standards (NBC TA / ISA).
The work involves understanding the business and the control environment, assessing the risks of material misstatement, applying tests of controls and substantive procedures, confirming balances with third parties and evaluating accounting estimates and policies. The conclusion adds reliability and transparency to the information disclosed to shareholders, investors, banks and regulators.
Internal Audit
Independent assessment of processes, internal controls and risk management, focused on operating efficiency and the protection of the organization's assets.
We map processes, identify weaknesses and control points, test adherence to internal policies and issue practical recommendations, together with an action plan and follow-up on implementation. It can be provided on a recurring basis or in specific projects, including in a co-sourcing arrangement with the client's team.
Compliance
Design and assessment of compliance and integrity programs, ensuring adherence to laws, sector regulations and internal policies.
It covers the diagnosis of compliance risks, the review of policies and codes, the assessment of anti-bribery and anti-corruption controls, tests of adherence to regulatory requirements and support in spreading a culture of ethics and risk prevention, with indicators for ongoing monitoring by management.
Assurance Services
Reasonable or limited assurance engagements over specific financial or non-financial information, in accordance with NBC TO 3000 (ISAE 3000).
This includes, for example, assurance over sustainability reports and ESG indicators, regulatory returns, grant accountability statements and internal controls of service organizations (SOC-type reports), always with clearly defined criteria and appropriate evidence.
Tax Planning
Analysis of the tax burden and of the structure of operations to identify lawful tax-saving opportunities and reduce risk.
It comprises the review of the tax regime and framework, the identification of credits and overpayments, the assessment of contingencies and the study of corporate and operational reorganizations — always in compliance with the law and with proper supporting documentation.
