Audit by Rödl & Partner

Our audit approach is based on a risk-oriented methodology. This concept represents one of the most significant developments in audit practices in recent years, shifting the focus from a traditional area-by-area review of financial statements to a model that identifies high-risk areas, those more prone to errors in recognition, valuation, or presentation of financial data.

In today’s environment, audit services can, and should, deliver added value to the client. This is possible through an approach that is both comprehensive and forward-looking. Our audit work begins with a deep understanding of the client’s business environment, includes a review of key processes, and extends to the identification of potential risks related to future developments.

Our audit and advisory services meet the highest national and international quality standards, ensuring accuracy, compliance, and reliability.

Our International Support

Our team is composed of professionals with strong technical knowledge and multilingual capabilities, with expertise in local and international accounting standards (such as Italian GAAP, German GAAP, US GAAP, and IFRS – International Financial Reporting Standards). In addition to these skills, our team members are also highly adept at communicating across different cultures and business environments.

This allows us to support clients in M&A transactions, the incorporation of foreign subsidiaries, and ongoing compliance and control of international entities.

Thanks to the international profile of our team and our close integration with legal, tax, and labor law experts, we can act as a single point of contact for clients in need of coordinated, cross-border assistance.
