Ordinary audit or limited audit?
It is never easy to assess oneself objectively. This is why the authorities have introduced the obligation for companies to have their financial year audited at regular intervals. The primary purpose of this process is to ensure that your accounting complies with regulations and that the information you report is accurate. Most Swiss SMEs can opt for a limited audit, in which an external auditor reviews all accounting documents related to the previous financial year. It is worth noting, however, that companies with fewer than ten full-time employees may choose to waive the audit altogether.
A requirement, but also an opportunity
This obligation should not be seen as a necessary evil. When carried out properly and in close collaboration with your accounting department or your usual fiduciary, an audit can be highly beneficial for the company. Firstly, an auditor’s findings often help identify weaknesses or potential risks and guide you towards improving your processes. Secondly, an audit enhances your credibility not only with the authorities but also with clients, suppliers, and your board of directors. It also inspires greater confidence with confidence banks, which can be valuable for obtaining a loan.
