The audit engagements
Statutory audit
For companies and groups above the legal thresholds, associations receiving grants or donations above the thresholds, and entities choosing a voluntary audit, for example at the request of investors or a group.
One-off legal engagements
Contribution, merger and transformation audits: engagements required by law for capital transactions and restructurings. See the dedicated pages below.
Sustainability
Assurance on sustainability information and on voluntary reports, by Nadir El Jouaidi, statutory auditor registered for these engagements.
Contractual audit
Acquisition audits, limited reviews, agreed-upon procedures, specific certificates requested by a group, a bank or a partner.
Independence, a professional requirement
The statutory auditor carries out a public-interest engagement under strict independence rules. As Hexaconto is chaired by Nadir El Jouaidi, the firm can never be the accountant or adviser of an entity of which Nadir El Jouaidi is the statutory auditor, nor prepare a transaction he audits: that would be self-review. Before accepting any engagement, we check that there is no incompatible situation.
Statutory audit engagements are carried out by Nadir El Jouaidi, statutory auditor, member of the Paris regional institute of statutory auditors (CRCC), also registered for sustainability assurance.
Subsidiaries of foreign groups
Nadir El Jouaidi can act for French subsidiaries of international groups, for statutory or contractual audits requested by the parent company, with exchanges in English, if Hexaconto does not already work for the subsidiary. See our support for subsidiaries and international entrepreneurs
