Using our state-of-the-art tools enables audit professionals to deliver the assurance service quality and excellence that is implicit in our brand name and that the financial community and public expect.

Audit is a complete function where in every existing system is evaluated and perfected. Any deviation from the existing system is immediately reported with the corrective action to be taken. The scope of audit involves not only vouching but also a complete system study wherein all unwanted expenses are revealed to the management enabling them to take corrective action. We are emphasising on internal audit in its true sense, the scope of which is vast and all embracing.

Audit is an independent examination of records and accounts produced by clients and auditors are obelised to mention all the relevant facts which may affect the decisions of stakeholders.

Financial Advisory & Other ServicesCOST ANALYSIS AND MATERIALS MANAGEMENT Costing and cost analysis despite being the essence of survival and profit making in any organisation do not receive the right kind of attention. Our team of specialised staff advise the company identifying the cost element involved, correlating it to the income, analyse the contribution, segregate the cost and arrive at the root factor.

Stock constitutes a major investment in most organisations and stock is nothing but money blocked which has carrying cost. Analysis of stock, fixing of reorder level, minimum and maximum levels, identifying redundant stock, analysing the reason for it, and eliminating them can go a long way in cost control and enhancing profitability.

BUDGETS AND FORECASTSOur team assist the company with the preparation of adequate Budget, which facilitate budgetary control and easy monitoring.

MANAGEMENT CONSULTANCYProviding advice on: Systems of general internal control, - Devising costing systems, -Recording and assessing divisional operating results, - Design of documentation, -Internal and operational audit, and -New accounting records.

FINANCIAL CONSULTANCYOptimum avenues of investment,- Raising finance in the short, medium and long term: preparing the associated reports and schedules,- Client company’s profitability and liquidity, and monitoring at regular intervals,- Key financial decisions arising in the course of trading, -Establishing optimum levels of readily realizable assets such as stocks, debtors and investments,- Bank presentations.

TRUSTEESHIPActing in a fiduciary capacity as trustee, in accordance with the terms of trust deed, in the exclusive interests of beneficiaries.

SYSTEM STUDY AND IMPLEMENTATIONA well-defined system documented is a must for every company. In this connection, we undertake the system study, discuss it with the management, refine it if necessary document it, implement it, monitor it and report to the management of any deviation from the existing system. This procedure once settled down will ensure that the company is on the right track and everybody in the organisation is aware of his duties\and responsibilities.

COMPLETE ACCOUNTING FUNCTIONThe service is meant for clients who do not have a well-organised Accounts department or for companies, which are in their infancy.

The function here includes maintaining accounts for your company, suggesting financial policies, planning cash flows, system study, and implementation, constant monitoring and reporting of any variations.

COMPANY FORMATIONThe Feasibility Study is analysed and scrutinised to familiarise with the nature of business and suggestions are made.

Once this is approved by the Management, we start with the legal formalities of drafting the Memorandum and Articles of Association, getting the Company incorporated with the Registrar of Companies, Opening Bank account, obtaining the necessary licences (Business, Trading, RDC etc.), Obtaining the Tin number, Patent and VAT etc.

FEASIBILITY, PROJECT STUDY AND MARKET RESEARCHThe Firm undertakes the feasibility study taking into consideration the nature of the proposed business, the market, likely competition, changing the scenario etc. Extensive market research and survey will be carried out and all factors will be taken into consideration. The report will be based on facts and figures.

Page 21: Nambiar Associates · Web viewCapability Statement We are the ‘Best Friend’ of in Rwanda and currently implementing the Grant Thornton software and standards to become a member

GUIDANCE FOR PROFESSIONAL BOOK KEEPINGThe Accounts should be maintained in such a way that the Management is not involved with the routine entries but is informed of any major deviations. The requirements of the Management and of the Government are different. Books need to be maintained in a manner that management information is readily available and at the same time Final accounts for the Government and Management can be prepared from the same set of books.

This calls for Cost Centre Accounting and financial Accounting and this need to be done simultaneously. While our Firm is not interested in writing the Books of Accounts on an ongoing basis, we can ensure that the existing staffs are trained to maintain the Books in a professional manner. Adequate training and audit can be carried out to ensure that the laid down policies are adhered to.

We study the finance department of the Company, the duties of each staff and will suggest the optimum Finance department with a well-defined Organisation chart and clearly demarcated authority, duties, and responsibilities and reporting pattern for each member of staff. This exercise will immensely benefit the Company in evaluating staffing levels required and so strengthen each function in the department.
