Audit

Statutory Audit

In Croatia, the statutory audit of financial statements is regulated by the Accounting Act, the Non-Profit Organizations Accounting Act, and the Audit Act. An audit is a process of examining and evaluating financial statements, data, and methods used in their preparation. It provides a professional opinion on the accuracy and objectivity of a company’s financial position, including assets, capital, liabilities, and business results.

Additionally, an audit includes an assessment of business operations, organizational structure, decision-making processes, and the functionality of the information system. This process benefits business owners, managers, and employees, as well as investors and the state.

Audits Required by the Companies Act

  • Incorporation audits
  • Capital increase and decrease audits
  • Mergers and acquisitions audits
  • Company division audits

These audits are essential for businesses undergoing statutory changes.

On-Demand Audits

We also conduct special-purpose audits, which focus on specific areas such as:

  • Audits of business segments
  • Operational audits
  • Business process reviews

These audits are typically commissioned for:

  • Evaluating financial statements or specific segments
  • Assessing financials during the purchase or sale of shares and company stakes
  • Owner-initiated management reviews
  • Internal audits for managerial oversight of accounting departments or external bookkeeping services
  • Bank and financial institution requirements

Additionally, we conduct audits for projects funded by the World Bank, EU funds, and similar financial sources.
