Types of Audits:
Regulatory, Statutory, and Performance
Regulatory Audit
Focus: Examines a specific product or process to determine if it adheres to sector-specific regulations.
Purpose: Ensures compliance with industry standards and regulations.
Performance Audit
Focus: Assesses the efficiency and effectiveness of various business processes.
Purpose: Identifies ways to improve operations and achieve better outcomes.
Statutory Audit
Focus: Reviews the overall financial statements of a business.
Purpose: Ensures that financial statements provide a true and fair view of the company's financial position and comply with legal requirements.
While all three audits provide valuable insights, the statutory audit is comprehensive, offering a complete overview of the company’s financial health and compliance with legal standards.
