Explore the advantages of our Global Audit Methodology

We design a customised audit plan that concentrates on the business areas significant to your financial statements and that are critical to your risk profile.

The result is not only an efficient audit — it is also one that we believe will be effective. Our early identification of business and control vulnerabilities and opportunities makes it possible for us to focus our audit effort on those areas of greatest risk.

The important features of our audit approach include:

  • Global audit methodology and documentation approach: our methodology, approach and knowledge and technology tools enable our professionals to deliver a consistent, high-quality audit anywhere in the world.
  • Excellence in audit execution: we train our teams to appropriately apply our audit methodology and tools, using an intensive client-by-client training approach that we call "Audit Quality".
  • Commitment to quality and controls: the responsibility for the quality of our audits rests with each of our audit partners and every member of our client teams. Their personal commitment to compliance with the highest professional ethics, standards and our firm’s quality controls is the foundation of our commitment to professional excellence.
Moving beyond compliance

When it comes to securing data, New Zealand organisations are moving beyond tick-box compliance to protecting their brand and reputation. Ernst & Young's 2008 Global Information Security Survey looks at the current state of information security, and offers recommendations for creating an improvement agenda for the future.

Anti-money laundering changes

New Zealand financial institutions will soon face anti-money laundering (AML) requirements. We can help you upgrade your AML framework to ensure compliance with these pending changes. Our background briefing tells you about the proposed requirements and their likely impact on institutions.

Weighing the costs of corruption or compliance

Corruption is a growing problem for businesses. Our 10th global fraud survey 2008 (pdf, 798 kb) offers analysis of insights from nearly 1,200 executives into their experiences of bribery and corruption. We also describe the steps to create what we believe is an effective anti-corruption compliance programme.
