Audit
Shrewd entrepreneurs appreciate working with a team of experts who can cast an independent eye over their financial statements, checking and auditing them to guarantee to all their stakeholders that they are working in full compliance with all the current accounting standards. Our teams can offer a professional opinion on the quality of the information presented. At FHS Group, talking to our clients to understand how their business has developed is central to the way we work.
We use the standard procedures, for both ordinary audits and limited audits. The results are laid out in an audit report, and company directors often find presenting their accounts to us helps them make informed decisions about their business and how to manage it.
We also provide audit services to public-sector bodies, such as Swiss municipalities, municipal federations and compensation funds, and employer audits.

Braloba Foundation
Since the establishment of the Fiduciaire Horlogère Suisse back in 1928, the founders and partners have always been committed to supporting charitable actions. After a rigorous selection process mirroring the diligence with which we carry out our day-to-day work, we have chosen to support the Braloba Foundation, whose role is to select worthy charities. The Braloba Foundation covers its own administrative and operational costs, so that 100% of donations collected go directly to the charities concerned.
