The short answer
SARN Consulting's audit support in Islamabad prepares your financial records for statutory, bank and internal audits — reconciled ledgers, complete schedules and audit-ready files — and coordinates with your auditors until the report is signed without findings drama.
- Files built to be read by a stranger — indexed, cross-referenced, reconciled
- We sit on the company's side of the table every season
- Fixed fee per engagement, agreed before work starts
- Coordination runs through to the signed report
Independent assurance tells you what is really happening inside the numbers. Our auditors in Islamabad perform internal audits, special-purpose reviews and agreed-upon-procedures engagements that surface control gaps, leakages and misstatements before they become expensive.
We also prepare companies for statutory audits by making sure records, schedules and reconciliations are complete before the external auditor arrives.
What's included
- Internal audit outsourcing on monthly or quarterly cycles
- Special investigations into suspected fraud or leakage
- Stock and fixed-asset physical verification
- Pre-audit readiness reviews for statutory audits
- Agreed-upon procedures for banks, donors or partners

How it works
Scope and gap review
We map what your auditors will ask for — confirmations, schedules, reconciliations — and check your records against that list.
Remediation
Missing documents are traced, unreconciled balances are cleared, and entries that would raise findings are corrected before the auditor ever sees them.
Audit file preparation
We assemble the complete audit pack: ledgers, trial balance, fixed asset register, debtors and creditors schedules, and board minutes where needed.
Auditor coordination
During fieldwork we answer auditor queries, provide evidence and drafts, and push the engagement to an unqualified opinion.
Why SARN Consulting
Audit work rewards preparation, not heroics. SARN's team knows what auditors test because we sit on the company's side of the table every season. Our files are built to be read by a stranger: indexed, cross-referenced and reconciled. Clients come to us after one painful audit and stay for the calm ones.
Local knowledge, Pakistan-wide coverage
Private companies in Islamabad face statutory audit under the Companies Act, banks demand audited statements for every meaningful facility, and NGOs and trusts answer to both their boards and the Pakistan Centre for Philanthropy. SECP's financial reporting regime has grown stricter year by year. We prepare Islamabad companies, partnerships and non-profits for exactly that level of scrutiny — and for the bank reviews that come afterwards.
Recent engagements (anonymised)
Bank facility — audit pack to approval
A trading company needed audited statements for a facility renewal. We built the complete file — confirmations, schedules, reconciliations — and answered the bank's reviewer queries. Facility approved without a single follow-up.
NGO — donor audit, clean report
A development-sector client faced a donor-commissioned audit. We assembled PCP-standard documentation and sat through the fieldwork. Clean report, and the same pack now serves every annual donor review.
Panic audit — three weeks out
Books eight months behind, auditors arriving. We triaged: fixed what would change the opinion, documented the rest honestly, and the engagement closed unqualified. The client now runs the full-year cycle with us.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between internal and statutory audit?
A statutory audit is required by law and performed by a licensed external audit firm, while an internal audit is hired by management to test controls, catch errors and improve processes. SARN Consulting provides internal and special-purpose audits and prepares your records for the statutory audit.
How long does an internal audit take?
A focused review of one process can take a few days, while a full-scope internal audit of a mid-sized company typically runs two to four weeks including reporting. We agree the scope and timeline with you in writing before starting.
Will management receive practical recommendations?
Yes. Every finding comes with a recommended action, the risk it addresses, and a suggested owner and deadline. We hold a closing meeting with management so the report turns into an actionable plan rather than a shelf document.
Do you perform the statutory audit yourselves?
Statutory audits must be signed by a firm holding a current audit licence. Our role is preparing your records and representing you through the audit so it finishes quickly and cleanly. We coordinate with your chosen audit firm — or help you select one.
My books are messy and the audit is next month. Can you still help?
Yes, this is our most common audit request. We triage: fix what changes the opinion, document the rest, and give your auditors a clean, honest package. A disciplined rush beats an undisciplined panic every time.
