Audit Services


The seasoned audit team at Christmas Gouwland Limited has a well-rounded background of experienced auditors who also have strong knowledge and skills in business development, operational excellence and taxation. As such, our audit services are designed to go well beyond a sign-off of historical information, providing insights that help businesses and other entities succeed.

A unique difference with an audit from Christmas Gouwland is that your audit will be completed by experienced personnel only. We do not have graduates in our audit group.

The key benefits to you are reduced interruption of your busy finance and management team, and more insightful findings and recommendations arising from the audit. Unlike larger firms, you will not be paying to train the audit team personnel.

We offer great service at a competitive fee.

You benefit from: 
  • Reduced compliance cost
  • Improved service levels - direct involvement of the Audit Director
  • Stable team for repeat visits
  • Experienced personnel completing your audit efficiently
As a member firm of GMN International - an association of legally independent accounting firms worldwide, the audit group can complete audits and assist companies on a global basis. Every member of GMN has been selected for their competency, integrity and adherence to quality standards.

At Christmas Gouwland we use advanced audit technology and we achieve a 'paperless' audit. Technology allows us to reduce the time that was previously spent on various routine functions and enables us to extract and analyse data with a minimal amount of effort. As a result of this, we can concentrate our efforts on the business issues.

We are able to provide a range of additional audit services and skills suited to your organisation's particular needs.
