What is Audit

“True and fair view which is expression of reasonable assurance”

True – Information is factual and conforms with reality, not false. In addition the information conforms with required standards and law. The accounts have been correctly extracted from books and records.

Fair- Information is free from discrimination and bias in compliance with expected standards and rules. The accounts should reflect the commercial substance if the company’s underlying transaction.
