Core Services

We conduct independent audits of financial statements to ensure accuracy, regulatory compliance, and adherence to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and Kenyan statutory requirements. Our partner-led teams deliver objective assessments that reduce reporting risk and bolster credibility with investors, regulators, donors, and boards.

A strong internal audit function is essential for effective control environments and proactive risk management. We help organizations enhance internal controls, assess governance frameworks, and embed risk-aware cultures. Our risk advisory services provide ongoing evaluation and recommendations that help prevent issues before they materialize.

Digital transformation introduces both opportunity and risk. Our IT audit services assess the security, reliability, and integrity of technology infrastructure and data governance frameworks. We deliver assurance over cybersecurity controls, digital risk exposure, and system performance to support accurate reporting and operational continuity.

Operating across multiple jurisdictions and sector-specific regulatory regimes requires meticulous compliance. We deliver precise, evidence-based compliance audits tailored to Kenyan law, regional treaties, and donor requirements, reducing exposure to penalties and enhancing transparency.
