Financial Statement Audit
Can auditors make hard-to-see easier to see?
Audits are the fundamental building block of effective capital markets. Our audit work provides quality, integrity, technical excellence, exceptional service and a broad understanding of financial and nonfinancial factors.
High-quality audits enhance trust and confidence in the capital markets and facilitate economic growth. We employ more than 85,000 audit professionals worldwide, who use their knowledge, skills and experience, along with advanced technologies, to provide audits of high quality.

Audit quality: A globally sustainable approach
Audit quality is the single most important factor in our decision-making, and the key measure on which our professional reputation stands.This is why in 2015 we launched Sustainable Audit Quality (SAQ) as a program focused on improving audit quality. SAQ is our commitment to conducting globally consistent, high-quality audits and is the foundation for keeping audit quality as our primary focus.
We recruit, develop and retain the right people, embrace innovation, encourage simplification and monitor what we do closely. The changes introduced through SAQ have required significant investment and created a positive change for our people and the companies we audit.
How technology is transforming the audit
Advances in technology are fundamentally changing the nature of the audit.
At EY we embrace the benefits of the latest technology and integrate it seamlessly into our audit processes to respond to the evolving needs of business, regulators and investors and drive quality and exceptional client service.
We innovate and invest in innovation because we are committed to building a better working world and providing capital markets with greater confidence, a better business perspective and enhanced transparency.
To support our commitment to clients and key stakeholders we are continually enhancing and upgrading our three foundation audit tools: EY Canvas, our global online audit platform; EY Helix, our suite of data analytics; and EY Atlas, our cloud-based knowledge platform that delivers the latest accounting and auditing content.
