Audit Quality

Grant Thornton is relentlessly focused on delivering the highest-quality audits. The continuous development of industry-leading analytics plays a vital role in this, but we have found that the analytical skills of our people and their ability to effectively use the tools are even more important.

Our Process

Risk profiling

Our process begins with a sophisticated approach for profiling current and prospective clients for risks related to financial reporting fraud, restatement, material weakness in internal control, bankruptcy and corporate governance issues.


Risks identified in this phase are considered and addressed as part of the audit. This helps companies achieve high levels of reporting quality, internal controls and corporate governance. This results in a portfolio of clients that is aligned with Grant Thornton’s dedication to audit quality and continuous improvement.
