Why your Model needs an Audit?


Financial models underpin major investments, bids, and transactions. But even experienced modellers make errors. Models may contain inconsistent formulas, hidden ranges, or structural flaws. Without independent review, these flaws can go unnoticed until it’s too late. Mistakes in logic, linking, or hidden assumptions can jeopardize deal outcomes.

A model audit ensures:
  Arguments rest on sound logic, not hidden errors
  Stakeholders and funders gain assurance
  Your model can survive scrutiny, not just internally, but externally
  Model documentation and structure meet professional standards
  Your team saves time during due diligence and investor review

Our Audit Framework
