Audit

In doing so, they help to support sustainable, long-term value creation.

High-quality audits facilitate economic growth and enhance trust and confidence in business and the capital markets. More than 85,000 EY audit professionals worldwide support the delivery of data-driven audits, powered by leading-edge technology, including three foundational audit technologies:
