What kind of assurance do you need?
Explore the options below. Your requirements, governing documents and funder or lender conditions will help determine the appropriate engagement.
See all audit and assurance services →We need a financial statement audit
An independent audit provides reasonable assurance about whether your financial statements are free from material misstatement. Our Whanganui auditors plan the work around your organisation and communicate the findings clearly.
Learn about audit engagements →We are considering an independent review
A review provides limited assurance, with a narrower scope than a full audit. It may be appropriate where your organisation's requirements permit a review.
Learn about independent reviews →We need specific information checked
Agreed-upon procedures focus on defined tasks and factual findings. We also offer stocktakes and fixed asset verification. Tell us what needs checking and who will use the results.
Explore our other services →We are not sure where to start
Tell us about your organisation and what you have been asked to provide. We can discuss the options before you commit to an engagement.

Relationships that build understanding
We value continuity. Knowing your organisation helps keep our conversations relevant, engagement after engagement.
Clarity from the beginning
We discuss the scope, timing, information needed and fees before the engagement begins, so you know what comes next.
Do we need a full audit or an independent review?
That depends on your organisation's circumstances and requirements. Start with our audit engagement page and independent review page to understand the difference, or talk it through with us if you are unsure.
Can Protea work with our accountant?
Yes. We can work alongside your accountant to obtain the information needed for your engagement while maintaining our independence as your auditor. Let us know who prepares your accounts.
Can we move our audit to Protea?
Yes, you can enquire about changing auditors. We will discuss timing, appointment requirements and professional communication with your existing auditor. Start a conversation about moving to Protea.
How much does an audit cost?
Fees depend on your organisation's size and complexity, the scope of work and the information available. Request a conversation about scope and fees.
