If the Companies Act, your constitution, a lender, or a regulator requires an audit, you need a registered auditor who delivers a clean, defensible opinion without drama. PBS Chartered Accountants Inc provides statutory audits, independent reviews, and assurance engagements in Nelspruit (Mbombela) for companies, trusts, close corporations, and non-profits across Mpumalanga and Limpopo.

An audit is not just a compliance tick-box — it is a third-party verification that the numbers you report are fairly stated. Done well, it strengthens your credibility with banks, investors, SARS, and your own board. Done badly, it is an annual ordeal that drags on for months. At PBS, audit engagements are led by registered auditors with deep experience of owner-managed businesses, agriculture, tourism, and non-profits across the Lowveld. If we already handle your bookkeeping, a separate independent team handles the audit so independence rules are respected.

PBS Chartered Accountants has served the Mbombela community from our offices at 17 Murray Street, Mbombela since our founding. In 2023, we expanded to Hoedspruit, Limpopo, extending assurance services across the broader Lowveld. Call 013 752 6280 to discuss your audit requirements and get a transparent quote.

What Does an Audit & Assurance Engagement Actually Cover?

Most business owners have a vague sense of what an audit is, but the reality is more structured and more useful than people expect. A proper audit follows International Standards on Auditing (ISA), documents the work, challenges the numbers, and delivers a signed opinion that external parties can rely on. At PBS, we run audits that are rigorous without being painful, with clear communication from planning through to sign-off.

Here is what PBS audit and assurance services include:

Statutory Audits for Companies

If your company is required by the Companies Act, its Memorandum of Incorporation, or a contractual obligation to have an audit, we deliver full ISA-compliant statutory audits. We plan the engagement, execute fieldwork, draft the audit report, and issue the signed opinion — with documented workpapers that hold up under review.

Independent Reviews

Many smaller companies qualify for an independent review rather than a full audit under the Companies Act. We provide compliant independent review engagements that meet the regulatory threshold while taking less time and costing less than a full audit.

Trust & Non-Profit Audits

Trusts with significant assets, NPOs with donor reporting obligations, and schools or religious bodies often require independent assurance. We have extensive experience auditing trust financials, donor-restricted funds, and non-profit compliance requirements.

Agreed-Upon Procedures & Factual Findings

Sometimes you do not need a full audit — you need a third party to verify a specific fact: a royalty calculation, a claim submission, a grant acquittal, or a compliance schedule. We design and execute agreed-upon procedures engagements and deliver factual findings reports.

Risk Assessment & Internal Controls Review

As part of every audit we assess the risk environment, review your internal controls, and highlight weaknesses in a management letter. You get a practical list of control improvements that reduce risk and make next year’s audit easier.

SARS & Lender-Required Assurance

Banks, SARS, and funders often require signed financial statements or assurance reports before lending, releasing funding, or issuing rulings. We deliver these engagements to the standard each counterparty expects.

Year-End Planning & Audit Readiness

We help clients get audit-ready well before year-end — advising on accounting policies, closing the gap on reconciliations, and flagging issues early. This turns audit season from a scramble into a predictable process.

Direct Access to Directors & Specialists

Audit partners at PBS are hands-on. You will speak to the registered auditor directly throughout the engagement, and they can pull in our tax, fiduciary, or advisory specialists when complex issues arise — all inside the same firm.

Why Choose PBS as Your Registered Auditor?

Registered Auditor Sign-Off: Every audit opinion we issue is signed by a registered auditor with the Independent Regulatory Board for Auditors (IRBA). That signature is backed by full professional accountability and a documented audit file.

ISA-Compliant Methodology: Our audits follow International Standards on Auditing. That means your audit file, workpapers, and opinion stand up to quality review and regulatory scrutiny.

Integrated Tax & Advisory Inputs: When the audit surfaces a tax exposure, a structuring question, or an accounting policy dilemma, our tax team and directors are in the same office to resolve it.

Clear Communication, No Surprises: We plan the engagement with you upfront, flag issues as we find them, and deliver the report on time. No silent months and then a last-minute list of findings.

Local Presence, Regional Reach: Based in Mbombela with a Hoedspruit branch, we audit businesses and trusts across the Lowveld with local relationships and a deep understanding of the regional economy.
