Audit of financial statements

We provide audit services for financial statements and annual reports as required in Slovakia by the Accounting Act No. 431/2002 Coll.

Our audit goes beyond mere compliance with legal obligations. We follow two core principles:
  • Efficiency: leveraging advanced analytical tools and extensive experience across various industries to tailor each audit to the specific risks and circumstances of your company,
  • Providing valuable insights: delivering relevant insights and information, making your auditor a trusted partner supporting your informed decision-making.

Ensure you meet CSRD requirements efficiently

Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) was introduced into Slovak legislation in June 2024. It introduces mandatory sustainability reporting, requiring businesses to disclose non-financial information on their activities and environmental impacts.
Starting from 2025, public interest entities must submit a sustainability statement for the 2024 reporting year. In the second wave, starting in 2026, up to 1 000 additional large companies in Slovakia will also be required to comply with CSRD and issue a sustainability statement. We provide expert guidance to help you navigate these requirements, including:
  • Double materiality assessment,
  • Drafting a sustainability statement,
  • Assisting with audit readiness.

We will guide you in preparing all the necessary documentation for a smooth sustainability statement audit. We will ensure your company’s ESRS reporting meets regulatory requirements.
