We have a dedicated quality monitoring programme that focuses on the six elements of International Standard on Quality Control (ISQC) 1. Under this programme, we review the audit quality of all our member firms and provide feedback on the design, implementation and operation of their assurance practice quality control.
This rigorous approach helps make sure we deliver consistent, quality services for our clients worldwide over the longer term.

We use one audit methodology globally, which means we can offer you consistent, high quality services wherever you are in the world.
Our audit methodology, Horizon, features a partner-led process that focuses our audit efforts on those areas of your financial statements that represent the greatest risk.
Horizon also features integrated quality-control processes, including policies and procedures for engagement quality-control review. The Horizon methodology is supported by the Voyager suite: an integrated set of six proprietary software tools.
