WHAT WE DO
We are auditing specialists who work alongside New Zealand charities, schools and not-for-profits – bringing continuity, sector knowledge and a genuine understanding of your organisation to every audit.
OUR SERVICES
How we support your organisation
From full audits and independent reviews to agreed-upon procedures and asset verification. Our services are tailored to your governance obligations and what your funders and board actually need.
Audit Engagement
A thorough, independent audit of your financial statements — delivered with care, expertise and clear communication. Giving everyone responsible for your organisation confidence in the financial information and provide reasonable assurance that the financial statements can be relied upon for informed decision-making.
An independent review of your financial statements, offering a limited level of assurance without the scope of a full audit. Rather than forming an opinion, we tell you plainly whether anything has come to our attention that suggests the numbers aren't right. A practical option when a full audit isn't required. Delivered with the same personal attention and commitment to clarity your organisation deserves.
Independent Review
Other Services
Independent verification services to suit your requirements. From agreed-upon procedures to stocktakes and fixed asset verification, we carry out the agreed work and report exactly what we find, clearly and factually, so your board or funders can draw their own conclusions with confidence.
SECTOR FOCUS
Who we work with
-
Whatever your structure, we know exactly what applies. Our full audits give lenders, banks and stakeholders the confidence they need in your financials, so you can stay focused on growing the business.
-
We understand the pressures facing New Zealand charities and not-for-profit organisations. Our audit and assurance services are built around your purpose, your funders and the communities you serve.
-
Incorporated societies across New Zealand are navigating new obligations under the Incorporated Societies Act 2022. We provide clear, straightforward audit and assurance services so your committee can stay focused on what matters most.
-
Schools, kura and early childhood providers have unique audit and assurance requirements. We understand the Ministry of Education funding landscape and deliver reports your Board of Trustees can actually understand.
WHY WE EXIST
From our founder
"I started Protea because I believed the audit experience could be better. Organisations doing genuinely important work in their communities deserved more than dense reports and a different auditor every year.
Protea exists to change that. To show up as a trusted, independent auditor who already knows you, communicates clearly and genuinely cares about the work your organisation does.
That's the kind of auditor I set out to be."
Lourika Vosloo
Director, Protea Audit Services
Protea is new. Our credentials aren't.
