Finance service of Apercu Global

Internal Audit & Control

In today's complex environment, an audit is integral to corporate success, providing evidence to stakeholders that financial results are reported in accordance with applicable standards.

Apercu Global hires personnel with extensive experience in a variety of industries such as technology, manufacturing and healthcare and experience with complex issues such as revenue recognition and stock compensation. We allow companies to utilize this experience to address specific issues that may be unique to their company or industry. This experience also allows clients to benchmark their results against other companies in their industry.

Construction Audit

Our commitment to your capital program starts with professionals dedicated to helping you succeed. Our construction team members bring proven business expertise coupled with extensive construction industry experience.

Contract Compliance

Apercu Global provides Contract Compliance service to help clients protect and enforce their rights to own and use patents, trademarks, copyrights and trade secrets, as well as franchise agreements. Many companies recognize significant royalty revenue from licensing intellectual property such as electronics, software, publications, and other assets. Mathematical error and misinterpretations of license and franchise agreement language can mean thousands, or even millions of additional royalty dollars are lost. At times, licensees may intentionally understate sales subject to royalty, which is not as easy to detect, but it does happen, and it can result in additional lost royalty revenue to the licensor.

Fraud Investigations

Organizations today face the daunting possibility of allegations of wrongdoing from any number of sources—shareholders, anonymous whistleblowers, regulatory agencies, employees, vendors, customers and suppliers. Often, the board or audit committee and management must respond rapidly to allegations in order to stem potential financial losses resulting from adverse publicity, reactions from the financial market or even the possibility of regulatory enforcement actions.

Internal Audit Co-Sourcing

Apercu Global Internal Audit Co-Sourcing professionals provide organizations with all of the technical and expert resources they require on-demand, without the need to hire full-time staff. No internal audit department is able to have all of the technical and expert resources it requires on hand, at all times. Therefore, attempting to have full-time staff available to meet every internal audit need is not a practical approach. Knowledge of Apercu Global in industry, technology and operational risk resources enables us to serve as a highly qualified asset for your business.

Internal Audit Outsourcing

Businesses rely on numerous sources of information and data to make strategic decisions. To compound matters, effective internal audit functions require a diversity of skills not always available internally. Apercu Global provides clients with an audit team experienced in the latest methodology and processes to ensure the needs of organizations are served.

Licensing Audit

Apercu Global provides licensing audit services to licensors (and for licensees) around the world. Our team has deep experience in extraordinarily complex software, electronic, and mechanical technologies to conduct thorough but amicable audits across the world. With company audit experience across North America, Europe, and Asia and an independent firm approach (as is required for CPA firms), we are equipped to meet your needs as a global licensor.

Operational Audits

Apercu Global will visit your business onsite and provide you with an audit of your service/operations department. We will assess your day-to-day operations for efficiencies, safety and profitablity. We will make recommendations to you on how to improve your service offerings, decrease your costs and improve your profits. We will work with you to develop new systems and procedures; provide additional training and coaching; and develop an action plan with responsibilities and deadlines to achieve your goals.

Quality Assessment

Apercu Global conducts continuous assessment activities in order to systematically improve the quality of services provided. Ongoing assessment is used to inform planning and decision-making and provide a gauge for the service quality of all units. An assessment plan is developed and implemented by each unit and includes outcomes and measurements specific to that unit's functions. Annually, a written assessment report is prepared by each unit to document how well outcomes are being achieved and to identify specific improvements that are needed within the unit.
