How can we support you?

Analysis of the accuracy and completeness of financial statements helps ensure that reported figures are reliable, consistent, and aligned with applicable standards. The service focuses on identifying errors, omissions, and structural weaknesses that may distort the financial picture and expose the organization to regulatory, reputational, or business risks.

Reconciliation of financial data and detection of inconsistencies

The engagement begins with a detailed reconciliation of key financial statement line items with underlying ledgers, subledgers, and source documents. Particular attention is paid to areas most prone to misstatements, such as revenue recognition, provisions, and accruals. Radner performs cross-checks between the statement of financial position, statement of profit or loss, cash flow statement, and notes to identify logical and numerical inconsistencies. Variances and unexplained differences are flagged, quantified, and traced back to their root causes. The outcome is a clear map of where figures do not tie together, where manual adjustments may be masking issues, and where additional controls are required. This systematic approach significantly reduces the risk of material errors going undetected.

Assessment of completeness and classification of transactions

The analysis covers whether all relevant transactions and events have been captured, recorded, and properly classified in the financial statements. Particular focus is placed on cut-off procedures, ensuring that revenues, expenses, assets, and liabilities are recognized in the correct reporting period. We review how unusual, non-recurring, and complex transactions are treated, including restructurings, related-party transactions, and off-balance-sheet arrangements. The classification of items between operating, investing, and financing activities is evaluated to prevent misleading presentation of performance and cash flows. Supporting documentation, contracts, and management representations are examined to identify any omitted obligations, contingencies, or commitments. As a result, stakeholders gain greater confidence that the financial statements present a complete and appropriately structured view of the entity’s activities.

Verification of compliance with accounting standards and policies

Radner evaluates whether the applied accounting policies are consistent with the relevant financial reporting framework and with industry practice. The review includes testing the correct application of recognition and measurement criteria for key balance sheet and income statement items. Particular emphasis is placed on estimates and judgments, such as impairment testing, fair value measurements, provisions, and revenue allocation. We analyze disclosures to ensure that significant assumptions, risks, and uncertainties are transparently presented and not obscured by boilerplate language. Any deviations from standards, internal policies, or prior-period practices are identified, quantified, and discussed with management. This verification helps reduce regulatory risk, supports smoother audits, and strengthens the credibility of financial reporting in the eyes of investors and other stakeholders.

Evaluation of internal controls and recommendations for improvement

The service includes an evaluation of the internal control environment surrounding the preparation of financial statements. Key processes such as journal entry posting, approval workflows, reconciliations, and closing procedures are reviewed for design and operating effectiveness. We identify control gaps that may lead to errors, fraud, or late adjustments during the reporting cycle. Particular attention is given to segregation of duties, access rights in financial systems, and the robustness of review and approval mechanisms. Practical recommendations are formulated to streamline processes, automate critical controls where feasible, and enhance documentation standards. Implementing these improvements helps organizations reduce the likelihood of misstatements, shorten the closing timetable, and build a more resilient financial reporting function.
