FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Who is required to have an audit in Georgia?

Under the Law of Georgia on Accounting, Reporting and Auditing, a financial statement audit is mandatory for public interest entities and for first and second category entities. The category is determined by thresholds for assets, revenue and number of employees. For other entities an audit is voluntary or requested by partners and financiers.

What is the difference between an audit and a review?

An audit provides reasonable assurance and involves detailed testing. A review provides limited assurance and relies mainly on analytical procedures and inquiries. A review takes less time and resources and is useful when a full audit is not mandatory.

How long does an audit take?

The timeline depends on the size of the company, the state of the records and the readiness of documents. At the planning stage we agree a realistic calendar and define what information we will need, so the process is as light as possible for your team.

Can BeeWise keep our books and audit them at the same time?

No. Independence requirements prohibit providing bookkeeping and auditing the resulting financial statements for the same company. If BeeWise keeps your books, the audit is performed by an independent auditor, and we help you prepare for it.

How should we prepare for an audit?

The most important things are closed and reconciled records, inventory count reports, contracts and bank statements, and a responsible person to communicate with the auditor. At the planning stage we provide a full list of the documents required.
