Audit | ECHO Switzerland

A team of qualified professionals

The Audit Department of ECHO SA brings together qualified professionals who strive to establish a close partnership built on trust with its clients.

A risk-based approach

Our methodology consists of gaining an understanding of the organisation and our client’s activities to develop an audit strategy tailored to each company in terms of its size, its complexity and the risks inherent in its business model. This approach is methodical, rigorous, risk-orientated and meets Swiss and international standards.

A large range of activities

Our experts have acquired ‘hands-on’ knowledge ranging from manufacturing, service or trading companies to financial intermediaries or even pension schemes. We also audit Swiss municipalities, not-for-profit organisations (associations and foundations) which have cultural or charitable goals.
