Independent Review

Small, Medium and Micro Enterprises (SMMEs) with a Public Interest Score (PI Score) less than 350 can save on audit costs by rather opting to have an independent review of their financial statements and accounting records. Bestcount can assist in doing these reviews and issuing accounting officer certificates to confirm compliance.
