In the Audit and Assurance, every aspect of your business will be taken into consideration in our assessment of your business’s greatest risks and areas of importance. By acquiring this insight we can provide you with more than a statutory audit and accountancy service, but additional solutions on how to improve your business’s financial and operational performance, as well as offer you advice on all your legal and regulatory issues. We seek to ensure that compliance work (audit and accounts) that can be seen to be a burden is instead turned into an exercise which adds value the business.

In financial reporting engagements, Total BSA believes that independence, in fact and in appearance, is to be maintained in all engagements where it is required or professionally warranted. Particular attention is to be directed to understanding the entity's business and the environment in which it operates, and to ensuring that any specialized knowledge required by the engagement is appropriately brought to bear.

Accounting issues are to be resolved based on our understanding of the substance of the underlying transactions, not their form. An attitude of healthy professional skepticism is maintained. Clients are urged to adopt accounting and reporting practices that we believe are appropriate in the circumstances.

Most importantly Total BSA firm's audit approach is business oriented. It focuses on an understanding of the client's business much deeper than the knowledge of the accounting system and records on which auditors have traditionally concentrated. We reflect this business orientation in several ways: our audit focuses on the substance of the underlying business rather than just the financial statements; we use our knowledge of the business and consider other services we provide in determining our audit procedures and appropriate sources of audit evidence; we use information we obtain from other services we may have performed during the year to offer constructive advice to the management.
