The major benefit is that the investors get enough idea to decide about the investments of their funds in the specific company. Financial statements analysis can help the government agencies to analyze the taxation due to the company.

In this article” Objectives of the organization or companies financial statements audit” I have explicate the objectives of the financial statement audit. These audits are meant to afford practical declaration to creditors and investors that the financial statements are truthful

Introduction: when companies have their financial statements, policies, and measures evaluated by an auditor. This evaluation procedure is called a financial statement audit. The auditor inspects a company’s financial documents to decide if that company’s financial statements conform to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). The reason of the audit is to afford declaration that the financial statements, and allegations presented by company management, are complete and perfect.

Objectives of audit:

Commonly, a financial statement audit is concluded in numerous ladders, as well as the planning stage, sample testing, controls and business deal testing, exposé testing, final reporting, and release of the auditor’s opinion. The audit planning stage occurs prior to the end of the company’s financial series. The company determines the series, which is usually quarterly or annually.

The audit work is performed in agreement with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and includes those reviews of internal controls, tests, and verification of data and other actions deemed essential by the auditor. Classically, annual financial statements are focus to audit while provisional statements are not.

02. Authenticate if the report is significantly error-free. Modifications or improvements, if any, must not result in any matter dissimilarity that could modify the decisions of the financial statement users, had they been accessible with the correct statistics. It is fairly significant for public companies to present financial reports that reproduce the real situation of the business to provide investors and creditors with a precise basis for investment or lending decisions.

Management has to make spirited decisions by using the specifics and statistics controlled in financial reports that were equipped with comparative uniformity against those of other companies occupied in a similar trade.

04. Appraise if the financial statements were equipped beneath an internal control configurations, in which counter-checking events, aimed at minimizing and eradicating the incidence of scam or error, are incorporated. In view of such counter-checking events, assess the level of fulfillment within the company as a whole to locate possible breakdowns or limitations.

05. Perform a chance verify to find out if there are no collapses in internal control procedures that may have permitted the perpetration of scam.

06. Outline matter errors to establish their root causes, and find out how and if they were attuned, rectified, or treated before they were used as statistics for financial statement appearances.


Conclusion: formerly the testing and evaluation stages are inclusive; the auditor can decide the financial statement audit. The auditor abridges the results in a written statement that is distributed to company management.

In conclusion the auditor concerns a judgment based on its final statement. An untrained judgment indicates that the financial statements kowtow to GAAP. An auditor can matter a qualified opinion if, during the audit, it finds a deviation from GAAP, or if the audit could not be completed for some reason. An adverse opinion may be issued if the auditor finds material misstatements, or if procedures do not follow GAAP standards. The judgment is usually published with the company’s financial records in its annual report.
