Common questions
Can I request an audit report with a UDIN?
You can discuss the requirement with the firm. Issuance of an audit report or UDIN is subject to a separately confirmed engagement with an appropriately authorised practising professional and audit firm. This overview does not confirm authority to issue a particular report or guarantee acceptance.
Is bookkeeping the same as an audit?
No. Bookkeeping, systems advice and an independent audit are distinct engagements. The purpose, responsibilities and deliverables are agreed separately.
