Overview of Approach
However, our approach follows a simple, yet highly rigorous four-step process.
Four Steps Audit Process
Audit Planning
A preliminary meeting is held to discuss issues related to internal controls, accounting, audit reporting. And clearly defined roles played by the representatives. A honed approach will be devised. And followed by the elected members with an agreement on a schedule for best performance to determine an overall effective strategy.
Auditing the association’s accounts is a pivotal service. Whereby one should take into account the maintenance or service charge received from each owner. Transfer of service fees from the master community to the Owner’s
Association and any other fee levied by other sources for the maintenance of the community. However, the final sum of such financial information will account for the revenue in hand with which the innumerable services for the gated community are to take place.
Audit Fieldwork
Also, our firm will go into rigorous depth by identifying and addressing the origins of issues elevated in the initial audit plan meeting. It will factor in the expenses incurred in maintaining the community impeccably; this comprises of a cleaning contract, clubhouse services, fire protection, generator maintenance, lift maintenance, Mechanical Electric and Plumbing (MEP) contract, pest control, security/lifeguard services, maintenance of swimming pool, electricity, water/sewage maintenance, waste management, general repairs/maintenance, insurance, and other sundry expenses.
The Sign-Off of Financial Statements
This will culminate in a sign-off of audited financial statements in addition to providing constructive recommendations to improve systems and controls.
Service Improvement Meeting
This final process will examine how the top audit firm in Dubai services can be of further improvement to empower the Owner’s Association and aid them in inconsistently upgrading services.
