What Is Statutory Audit?

Statutory audit, also known as external audit, is a type of audit that is mandated by a specific statute or law to make sure that the financial statements of the entities represent a true and fair view of its state of affairs and profitability. Statutory audit is governed by the Companies Act.
 
The scope of the statutory audit mainly depends upon the guidelines and regulations set by the government. The financial statements and the accounts of the organization are scrutinized to avoid discrepancies or any possible misrepresentation and ensure reliability.

Internal Audit vrs Statutory Audit

Statutory audit differs from internal audit in the sense that the statutory auditor is appointed by the stakeholders, whereas the internal auditor is appointed by the company management. The scope of the work in the statutory audit is decided by the law to check if the company’s financials represent a true and fair view. Internal audit, on the other hand, is done as per the scope decided by the management to improve operational efficiencies.
                   
Our team of statutory auditors at Sarsson Audit are well-versed with the Ghanaian Accounting Standards and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) to carry out audits for local and international firms. We work in compliance with the regulations and set of rules as prescribed by the government, which makes our audit reports even more credible, precise, and reliable.
