This report shares key information around our audit practice and its role – the things we’re proud of and steps we’re taking to ensure our Audit & Assurance (A&A) business is resilient now and well into the future.
In what’s been another complex year, capital markets and the audit profession continue to deliver in an environment of uncertainty. Persistent inflationary pressures in Australia are intensifying strain on businesses and individuals alike, while evolving regulatory responses to climate change, geopolitical unrest, as well as significant media and political scrutiny further complicate this landscape. Not to mention the emerging role of artificial intelligence (AI). It’s certainly a multifaceted environment, but one in which we remain driven to uphold market integrity and adapt our audit practices for continuous, sustainable improvement.
Our priority is to provide consistent, high-quality services. To do this, we invest in our people, training, technology, processes and systems of quality control, as well as nurturing a culture of continuous improvement. Again, we’re proud of what we’ve achieved over the past year, but we understand we must always strive for continuous improvement.
