Audit only
We do one thing. That keeps the independence question simple and means we are not competing for work your administrator or adviser already performs.
Audira is an audit firm focused on investment funds and fund managers. We work primarily with venture capital and private equity funds. Our approach is straightforward: clear planning, direct communication and senior involvement throughout the audit.
We specialise in the audit of venture capital and private equity funds, with experience across fund structures, investment valuations, capital calls and distributions, management fees, waterfalls and carried interest. Our focus on investment funds allows us to understand the structures, transactions and reporting matters that are specific to funds, including structures involving public or institutional co-investment and financing.
We keep the audit process clear: an agreed timetable, direct partner involvement and specific questions.
Audira is built around focused audits for investment funds and fund managers. We concentrate our effort where it matters, keep lower-risk areas pragmatic and make the audit process clear and predictable from the start.
We focus our work on the areas that matter most to the financial statements. For funds, this will often include valuations, fund structures, capital contributions and distributions, management fees and carried interest. Less complex areas should not make the audit unnecessarily complicated.
We do one thing. That keeps the independence question simple and means we are not competing for work your administrator or adviser already performs.
Small, experienced and deliberately low-leveraged teams, with the partner closely involved throughout the audit — not only at final review.
We focus the audit on the risks and balances that matter to the financial statements. Areas that require judgement get more attention; routine areas are handled proportionately.
Questions are specific and purposeful. We explain what we need and why, avoiding vague requests and unnecessary back-and-forth.
We work with a coordinated request list and clear ownership of open items. The aim is a practical process without duplicate requests or avoidable back-and-forth.
We agree the audit timetable upfront and take the reporting requirements and deadlines in the fund agreement into account. Key dates and responsibilities are clear from the start, and issues are discussed as they arise rather than at the reporting deadline.
A compact process with senior involvement, short communication lines and clear expectations for management and administrators.
We agree the entity structure, reporting framework, timetable and responsibilities up front.
We address investments, capital calls, closings and key control areas before year-end where possible.
We focus the final audit on areas such as valuations, waterfalls and reporting.
Questions are specific, senior judgement stays close to the file and the reporting date is tightly managed.
