könyvvizsgálók

Könyvvizsgálók, also known as statutory auditors or certified public accountants in other contexts, are professionals responsible for examining a company's financial statements to ensure their accuracy and compliance with accounting standards and relevant laws. Their primary role is to provide an independent opinion on whether the financial statements present a true and fair view of the company's financial position and performance.

The work of a könyvvizsgáló typically involves reviewing financial records, internal controls, and accounting procedures. They conduct tests and analyses to verify the completeness and accuracy of transactions and balances. This process helps detect errors, fraud, and other irregularities. Following their examination, könyvvizsgálók issue an audit report, which is a crucial document for stakeholders such as shareholders, creditors, and regulatory bodies.

In Hungary, the profession is regulated by specific laws and professional bodies. Individuals must meet certain educational and experience requirements and pass professional examinations to become a licensed könyvvizsgáló. Continuing professional development is also mandatory to keep their knowledge and skills up-to-date with evolving accounting practices and regulations. Companies are often legally required to have their financial statements audited by a könyvvizsgáló, especially larger entities or those listed on stock exchanges. The independence of the könyvvizsgáló is paramount to maintaining the integrity of the audit process.
