Statutory Audits – Ensuring Compliance with the Law

As a business owner, you may have heard the term “statutory audit” thrown around in accounting and finance discussions. But what exactly is a statutory audit, and why is it important for your business?

A statutory audit is an audit of a company’s financial statements, which is required by law.
