Audit approach

A good auditor will be a friend of the business, a person to bounce ideas off and a shoulder to cry on. Our approach is not that of a typical accounting firm which solely "looks in the rearview mirror" to see what happened last year.

Our audit approach is risk based; however, this approach is not used to avoid conducting appropriate audit procedures. Rather, we gain a thorough understanding of your business to focus audit procedures where risk is the greatest. We are also focused on the future and make every effort to add value to your organisation. Only by working in partnership with management can we help them recognise their strengths and weaknesses and identify the best way of grooming and growing their business. As no clients are excluded from this process and all our auditors use the same audit approach, we are able to deliver a highly effective audit efficiently.

Global consistency
The approaches described here are used by Grant Thornton member firms around the world. Whether your operations are located within Kuwait or are spread through the world, you can expect a consistent and uniform approach to the audit. Audit teams therefore avoid the need to reconcile documentation from a patchwork of different tools. A high level of partner involvement further ensures consistency and quality.

In a climate of constant change where business is increasingly global and the use of IT more sophisticated  the success or failure of a company is becoming dependent on its ability to manage resources and information. Grant Thornton International understands this. We have developed Grant Thornton International Horizon to help businesses manage this challenge and maintain their competitive advantage.

Our approach is a means to an end - it is not a rigid set of instructions that has no flexibility. Horizon allows us that flexibility.
