Financial Model Assurance and Review

We focus on what makes each project unique and put our client’s requirements at the forefront of what we do. We liaise closely with clients and key stakeholders at each stage of a project to make sure our work is delivering what they need.

We believe that our collaborative approach is one of the main reasons that clients have asked us to work on over 2,500 projects worldwide since 1996, including model audits for many award-winning projects.

Our approach

We have developed a pragmatic and flexible, multi-layered approach to the audit of financial models. Our comprehensive methodology means all relevant issues are identified, resolved or reported.

Re-performance, including testing by rebuilding, alone is not enough. This ‘shadow modelling’ will not identify latent issues in your model which may only become evident when it’s too late.

Our proven and comprehensive bottom-up ‘all cells’ testing evaluates a model’s structure, data flows and logic. Our top-down analysis includes testing of key risk areas using a range of analytical procedures, including re-performance, proof in totals, trend analysis and sense checking.

Our approach can be tailored to meet your specific needs, including, higher level integrity/red-flag reviews; best practice reviews or more detailed reviews to support lenders and investors for project financing and equity investments.
