Whether you’re bidding for a government tender or a private sector tender, you want to do everything within your power to be successful.

Having a financial audit undertaken through an independent party like LDB can make your bid more compelling and improve your chances of winning the tender.

Here’s why.

It makes your application more competitive

When writing a tender proposal, the aim is to set your tender apart from others, as there may be a lot of competition for the work or grant.

Having audited financial documents gives the government agency or private sector party you’re applying to increased confidence that your financial information is sound and accurate.

Using our auditing service is almost like having a referee who knows your business inside and out – someone who can attest to your work.

It incorporates transparent information

Undertaking a financial audit and having a third party look at your financial data makes your financial information more transparent.

It proves to the government agency or private sector party to whom you’re applying that your financial data is unbiased and “true and fair”.

Therefore, the people who are looking at it (the tenderers) can have reliance on your financial statements.

It will give them more confidence as your financial statements will have been looked at and tested by an independent person as part of the audit.

It provides an accurate financial view of your business

Undertaking a financial audit could improve your chances of winning a tender, as it provides an independent overview of how your business is performing.

LDB will test the controls of the company it is auditing to understand where the risks are and how those risks can be mitigated.

LDB will then give recommendations to help reduce risks, and test your assets and accounting policies to make sure they are actually reflecting what’s happening in the business.
