Audit and assurance services provided by HornBridge Research and Consultancy encompass a range of activities aimed at providing independent and objective assessments of financial statements, internal controls, and compliance with regulatory requirements.

Financial Statement Audit

We conduct comprehensive audits of financial statements to provide assurance on their accuracy, completeness, and compliance with accounting standards and regulatory requirements. This involves examining financial records, transactions, and disclosures to ensure transparency, reliability, and integrity of financial reporting.

We assess the effectiveness of internal controls within organizations to mitigate risks and safeguard assets. This includes evaluating the design and implementation of internal control systems, identifying weaknesses or deficiencies, and providing recommendations for improvement.

Compliance Audit

We verify compliance with relevant laws, regulations, and contractual agreements to ensure that organizations operate in accordance with legal and regulatory requirements. This may include audits of tax compliance, statutory reporting obligations, industry-specific regulations, and contractual commitments.

Risk Assessment and Management

We identify and assess risks that may impact the achievement of organizational objectives and provide recommendations for mitigating and managing these risks effectively. This involves evaluating risk factors such as operational, financial, strategic, and regulatory risks, and developing risk management strategies tailored to the specific needs of the organization.
