Audit

We believe that an audit process should be more than just assessing financial information and delivering financial statements. We carefully consider the unique elements of the business, and we take time to understand the nature of the business and identify solutions to make a real contribution to profitability.

We also believe there is a great deal to be gained from the review of a business, which isn't covered by the standard audit. The knowledge obtained is utilised in order to provide practical, value added reports to management. We ensure that our audits comply with the professional standards of the International Regulatory Board of Auditors and our methodology meets applicable international standards and regulations.

Tax

Since the promulgation of the Tax Administration Act, liaising with the South African Revenue Service is a daunting exercise. The legislative environment is constantly changing and the administration requirements are onerous. The task of submitting a tax return should not be conducted without a specialist. The Atlantic Trust team provides the necessary skills and experience to formulate a clear tax strategy and implementation of the same.
