Audit for Retail, Consumer Goods & E-commerce

Companies in the retail and consumer goods sector face a wide range of challenges. Changing consumer behaviour, omnichannel sales models, rising costs and increasing regulatory requirements demand a high degree of transparency and reliable financial information. At the same time, high transaction volumes and complex supply chains are placing greater demands on accounting, governance and internal control systems.

Our approach

We support retail companies, consumer goods manufacturers and e-commerce firms with sector-specific audit services. In doing so, we combine in-depth sector knowledge with a risk-based audit approach and state-of-the-art data analytics methods.
Our audit takes into account the specific requirements of the sector – from complex revenue streams and the valuation of inventories to IT-supported sales and point-of-sale systems. At the same time, we view the annual audit as an opportunity to gain valuable insights into processes and control structures and to identify areas for improvement.
