A private company audit approach that fits your needs

At Deloitte, a private audit is not a compliance exercise. It focuses on the areas of highest risk and minimizes work on what is less relevant. A high-quality audit has to be transparent, customized, and integrated—to deliver insights that inform intelligent, real-time decisions. Our Private Company Audit Methodology incorporates workflow automation, artificial intelligence, and data analytic tools that enable us to offer valuable perspectives as we serve you now and as you grow. This streamlined, tailored approach allows us to spend additional time where you want it: with owners, management, and key stakeholders, to understand and assist them with the challenges and issues they face in running the business.

Accounting Advisory & Transformation Services

Corporate accounting and finance professionals demand a truly balanced perspective. A flexible, integrated approach. And an experienced adviser who can provide direction and recommendations in a wide range of scenarios. With changing standards, major events, and organizational transformation, companies should be prepared to efficiently and effectively harness new technologies, prioritize digital transformation, and adapt to new ways of working. Accomplishing this, though, is no easy task. Start handling the unexpected so you can focus on what matters—and move forward with confidence.
