Wipsoft ltd
Overview
Improving financial audits can stop construction companies from collapsing
15 January 2018 UK construction company Carillion collapsed. This resulted calls to improve the standard of audits.
The challenge
Audit failures have been widespread across UK businesses recently. However, construction and contracting companies are particularly exposed to many compliance challenges. Financial Reporting Council is of the view that, auditors fail to challenge significant accounting judgements by construction companies. It is often difficult to determine the correct time to book profits or costs from a contract that takes many years to complete.
The result
We make an impact through our work
To help combat these issues, We collaborated with Wipsoft and developed Wipflow, a first-of-its-kind software as a service (SaaS) product. Wipflow provides accounting and auditing teams with compliant and affordable tools. Wipflow is designed specifically for recording, analysing and reporting financial data of individual jobs. Not only does it automatically calculates work-in-progress, profit or loss, and KPI's, but it is also FRS 102 compliant. Wipflow facilitates external auditors to independently pick their samples and produce audit tests to support their audit opinion.
