“It is quite normal to conduct this kind of audit fairly regularly, particularly if departments are frequently reorganised or staff turnover is high. We also think the procedure should be repeated at Group level to secure the processes, and because of the financial benefits.”
Abdelaziz Chaachoui, accounting manager at Elivia

“It was a positive exercise for us. Although the amounts recovered are not that substantial, they nonetheless represent revenue that would have been lost had we not conducted the audit”
Séverine Perraud, Group head of accounting and consolidation

“We were interested in the idea of using the FEC data for quantitative and qualitative analyses. Instead of producing it solely as an accounting obligation, it is used as a tool to serve the company.”
Céline Lerissel, Tax manager at Bayer

“We wanted to pinpoint any areas that might need attention, whether in relation to automation or accountant training, and see whether it was desirable to set up recurring targeted checks.”
Anne Guironnet-Rougeon, Head of Accounts Payable at the SSC

“The important thing for us is to understand how anomalies occurred so that we can correct matters in future.”
Thierry Pralong, Head of Accounting Department at Chantiers de l’Atlantique

« A chaque audit, nous récupérons des montants significatifs sur des anomalies de doubles paiements et de TVA. Comme le risque zéro n’existe pas, la réalisation de nouvelles missions nous permet d’identifier les éventuelles nouvelles erreurs »
Stanislas Renaudin, Directeur du CSP AccIS France

“We have learned lessons and seen areas for improvement from each ABBD finding”
Eric Estrabols, subsidiary ledgers manager at Bouygues Telecom

“The audit was very positive because it enabled us to recover substantial, high impact amounts”
Marc Fournier, head of financial accounting and reporting at Novartis Pharma

“It reassured us that our processes are generally run properly. The audit findings were shared not only with accounting staff, but also with the Group’s top financial management.”
Éric Samson, European Tax Director at Aperam Group
