Structure audit

Auditing a structure that grew without a plan.

Over time owners accumulate entities, accounts and agreements that no one can fully describe. The decision question is whether to commission a structured look at all of it, and what that look will and will not tell you.

What kind of audit this is

A structural review, not a financial or legal audit

It describes what exists, tests it against your current goals and flags what looks unnecessary, risky or unclear. It does not examine the accuracy of your accounts, certify anything or give a legal or tax opinion. Where a point needs one of those, the review says so and lists it for a licensed adviser.

Where an audit can help

Where an audit can help

After a period of fast growth

Entities were added as needs appeared and nobody revisited why.

Before bringing in an investor or partner

You would rather find the awkward points yourself.

After a change in the owner's life

A move, a marriage, or a change of business focus can leave an old structure out of step.

When no one is sure who holds what

If nobody can draw the structure from memory, the first step is to draw it.

What you get depends on what documents exist. Missing records are listed as gaps, not guessed at.

This is business and structuring analysis, not legal, tax or investment advice. Where a legal or tax opinion is needed, we say so and point you to a licensed adviser.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is this an accounting audit?+

No. It reviews the shape and purpose of the structure, not the correctness of the figures.

Will you change the structure?+

Implementation is separate. The review gives options and what to ask for.

What documents do I need?+

Ownership schemes, lists of entities and accounts, a short description of what each does, and a financial summary.
