Everything from a single source
Since the introduction of the new auditing law, enterprises subject to a limited audit can opt to let the same accountant provide both accounting and audit services. The requirements regarding independence have been relaxed, which allows for uncomplicated, efficient and cost-effective solutions for small companies and organisations.
Requirements
The accounting and audit double mandate is only permissible if the two mandates are kept separate in personnel and organisational terms. BDO ensures that this is the case.
Limited audits are defined in the Swiss Code of Obligations. They are permissible only where two of the three following criteria are not exceeded in two consecutive years:
- Total assets of CHF 20 million
- Turnover of CHF 40 million
- 250 full-time employees on average over the course of the year
Limited audits are intended for small enterprises and, combined with our accounting services, offer great benefits including efficiency and sensible costs.
