Kuluarvestuses

Kuluarvestuses, also known as external auditing, is a process in which an independent party, known as an external auditor, examines the financial statements and records of an organization to ensure their accuracy, reliability, and compliance with relevant laws and regulations. This process is typically conducted by certified public accountants or other qualified professionals.

The primary objective of kuluarvestuses is to provide assurance to stakeholders, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory bodies, that the financial information presented by the organization is fair and free from material misstatements. This is achieved through a systematic examination of the organization's financial records, including its accounting policies, internal controls, and compliance with applicable laws.

External auditors follow a set of professional standards and guidelines, such as those issued by the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board (IAASB), to conduct their work. These standards outline the criteria and procedures that auditors must follow to ensure the quality and integrity of their audit work.

The results of kuluarvestuses are typically communicated in an audit report, which is issued to the organization's management and stakeholders. This report provides an opinion on whether the financial statements are free from material misstatements, whether they comply with relevant laws and regulations, and whether they are presented in accordance with applicable accounting standards.

Kuluarvestuses plays a crucial role in maintaining the transparency and credibility of an organization's financial information, thereby fostering trust among its stakeholders. It is a mandatory requirement for many organizations, particularly those that are publicly traded or subject to regulatory oversight.
