Some organisations require independent assurance over financial or selected non-financial information without the need for a full statutory audit. In these cases, a non-statutory audit engagement provides proportionate, purpose-driven assurance tailored to the specific reporting objective.

How BDO Qatar Can Assist You

We provide independent assurance on the integrity of financial statements and can report on certain other quantifiable information. This is often relevant where stakeholders require additional comfort for financing, investor discussions, internal governance, or transaction readiness.

In practice, non-statutory audit engagements can help management teams strengthen transparency and confidence in reporting, especially where financial information is prepared from multiple systems, requires reconciliation, or needs to be presented in a clear, decision-ready format.

Typical Situations Where A Non-Statutory Engagement Adds Value

• Supporting management reporting and board-level oversight with independent assurance.
• Providing comfort to banks, investors, or other counterparties as part of funding or commercial discussions.
• Enhancing the reliability of financial information used for business planning, restructuring, or acquisition preparedness.
• Assisting organisations to strengthen financial controls and reporting discipline ahead of regulatory or tax-driven changes.

Our approach is proportionate, risk-focused, and tailored to the purpose of the engagement, providing practical observations where appropriate to improve reporting processes and internal control environments.
