NOT YOUR ORDINARY AUDITORS.

AUDIT MAY ONCE HAVE BEEN THE DOMAIN OF SO-CALLED ‘BEAN-COUNTERS’ AND ‘BOX-TICKERS.’

Things have changed though and at Nolands what you’ll get is a company that’s led by a belief in building direct, long-term relationships with clients. We know that the more we understand our clients’ challenges and what they’re trying to achieve – wherever it is they do business – the better the solutions we can offer them.

While independence of judgement and objectivity (and of course counting the beans and ticking the boxes) will always remain key to what we do, interaction with our clients will always be just as important. It’s what gives us the vital first-hand information we can use to plan an extraordinary way forward.

We started in Auditing

Nolands was started on the foundation of auditing services more than 4 decades ago by young men short on contacts and social connections, and big on getting going, fast.

Today, Nolands has grown in size, services, and impact. Get to know our auditors and services below.

Our comprehensive Audit services are there to help you target specific areas:

Statutory audits

If an entity needs a compulsory or a voluntary audit, Nolands has the skills and necessary resources to help meet statutory requirements.

Independent Reviews

The Companies Act has introduced a choice for entities to elect to have their financial statements independently reviewed. An Independent Review gives a level of assurance alternative to a statutory audit opinion, depending on the client’s Public Interest Score as defined by the Act.

JSE Accredited Audits

If an entity is subject to the JSE listing requirements, Nolands is strategically positioned to meet these requirements. Nolands is an Approved Auditor by the JSE.

Retirement Fund Audits

Retirement fund auditing is a niche service offering that gives peace of mind to retirement fund members.

Special Purpose Audits

Where entities need an audit opinion to be expressed in respect of predetermined, agreed-upon audit procedures, Nolands has what it takes to meet these requirements and issue opinions.

Internal Audits

Nolands is strategically positioned to perform the outsourced internal audit function on behalf of entities that either voluntarily choose to have an internal audit or are required by statute to do so.

Accounting Officer’s reviews

The Close Corporations Act, 1984, requires all CCs to have an Accounting Officer’s review prepared and signed off annually. Although the future of the Close Corporation is limited, this is still a service we offer.
