WHAT WE DO
Five audits we run. One we ready you for.
The audits we plan and sign in-house — and the external one we get your books ready for.
Internal audit & controls review
Test whether your controls actually hold — before a loss finds the gap.
Forensic audit
Trace where the money went when the numbers don't add up.
IS / systems audit
Check the systems your numbers run on — access, integrity, controls.
Inventory / stock audit
Count what's really on the shelf, and find where stock leaks.
Compliance audit
Show a regulator, funder, or licence body that you meet the rules.
Audit-readiness & external-audit support
When your bank, board, or the Companies Act calls for a statutory audit, we get your books ready — and coordinate sign-off with a registered audit partner.
Every audit is planned and signed off by a practicing ICPAK partner.
WHO IT'S FOR
When an audit stops being optional.
Most audits aren't volunteered — someone with leverage asks. Here's who tends to ask, and what's riding on it.
- Turnover above KSh 50 million
- KRA requires companies turning over more than KSh 50 million to file audited accounts.
- A KRA dispute or assessment
- Under dispute or assessment, KRA can demand audited accounts to back your figures.
- Lender or bank covenant
- Banks renew facilities on audited accounts. No audit, no decision.
- Tender or PPRA bid
- Serious tenders score you on audited financials before anything else.
- Donor or grant condition
- Grant agreements tie the next disbursement to a clean audit.
- Sector regulator or licence
- SACCOs, schools, insurers, NGOs — your licence depends on filing one.
- Sale, merger or investor
- Buyers price what they can verify. Unaudited books cost you at the table.
If even one of these is true, the deadline's already set — and it isn't yours.
HOW IT WORKS
One pass. No re-runs.
Every audit is planned around real risk and signed by a partner before it leaves our office — so it stands up the first time.
- 01
Scope review
We map what's in scope, what triggered the audit, and what 'done' looks like.
- 02
Planning & risk
We plan the work around where the real risk sits — not a generic checklist.
- 03
Fieldwork
We test the numbers, the controls, and the evidence behind them.
- 04
Partner review & sign-off
A practicing partner reviews every conclusion and signs before anything leaves our office.
- 05
Report & follow-through
You get a clear report — and a walk-through of what to fix, not just what's wrong.
Nothing leaves our office until a practicing partner has signed it — which is why you file an audit once, not twice.
PRICING
How an audit fee is set.
Audit fees aren't a flat rate. Here's how yours is worked out — and why you'll never see a surprise invoice.
THE BASE
The higher of your turnover or total assets
ADJUSTED FOR
- Complexity & number of entities
- The state of your books
- First-year vs. recurring audit
A fixed fee — quoted in writing, before any work begins.
It's the basis ICPAK's fee guidelines set — a fee that reflects the work, not a number invented to win or pad the job.
QUESTIONS
Audit questions, answered.
The ones we hear most — answered straight, before you book a scope review.
We run internal, forensic, IS, inventory and compliance audits in-house, and a practicing partner signs those. For a statutory (external) audit under the Companies Act, we get your books audit-ready and coordinate sign-off with a registered audit partner — so you file once, cleanly.
See what we auditOften, yes. KRA requires audited accounts once your turnover passes KSh 50 million, and lenders, tenders, donors, regulators, or a KRA dispute can each demand one. If any is on your horizon, the deadline is usually already set.
When an audit is requiredThere's no flat rate. Fees are set on the higher of your turnover or total assets — the basis ICPAK's guidelines use — adjusted for complexity and the state of your books, and fixed in writing after a short scoping review. No surprise invoice.
How a fee is setIt depends on scope and the state of your records — clean books move fast, messy ones take longer. You get a realistic timeline with the written quote after the scoping review, not a guess before it.
An internal audit checks your own controls and risks — for you, on demand. An external (statutory) audit is the independent one your bank, board, or the law requires. We run the internal work ourselves and ready you for the external one.
Usually last year's accounts, your trial balance and ledgers, and access to the records and systems behind them. We confirm the exact list in the scope review — and flag anything missing before it slows the work.
