Before we begin.
Can you work with our existing accountant?
We can discuss a clearly defined assignment alongside your existing finance team or accountant. Responsibilities and information-sharing arrangements are agreed at the outset, subject to any independence requirements.
What if our records are incomplete?
Tell us which records are available and where the gaps are. We can assess the work required and discuss an appropriate sequence for addressing missing information, reconciliations and reporting.
What should we prepare for the first discussion?
A brief description of the business, the support required and any deadline is enough to start. We will identify the records needed for the proposed assignment after understanding the requirement.
How are scope, timing and fees agreed?
The proposed work, responsibilities, deliverables, expected timing and fees are set out before an engagement starts. The scope depends on the complexity of the work and the condition and availability of records.
Can we appoint you for a single assignment?
Yes. We can discuss a specific reporting, tax or advisory assignment as well as recurring support. Engagement acceptance is subject to capacity, scope and professional requirements.
What happens after we enquire?
A partner will clarify the requirement and discuss whether AAP can assist. Where appropriate, we will request initial information and prepare a proposal. An enquiry does not commit you to an engagement.
What types of valuation does AAP undertake?
Our principal areas include land and buildings, leasehold and investment property, resort and development appraisals, selected infrastructure and equipment, business valuation and financial modelling, and reviews of existing valuation reports. The scope of specialist or complex assignments is assessed before acceptance.
Can AAP provide a valuation for an existing audit client?
Any proposed valuation is assessed against applicable independence, self-review and conflict-of-interest requirements. Some assignments may be restricted or prohibited where AAP is the auditor. We confirm whether an engagement is permissible before accepting it.
