Audit of banks

Audit of banks (or, as they say, bank audit) - is an independent analysis of the accounting (financial) statements of the credit institution, according to the results of which the audit report is issued, including an opinion on its reliability and compliance with the requirements of legislation.

Today, the Bank of Russia's requirements in terms of banking regulation imply high competence and experience in this particular area, a professional audit team and skills acquired through long-term activities.

Our company has extensive experience in this area. Among our clients there are Russian and foreign banks, microfinance organizations, stock exchanges, financial institutions and other credit organizations. Over the years our company has developed and expanded its potential in financial services.
