Statutory audits of financial statements and other assurance services are the foundations on which we have built our company. Running over 200 audit projects per year, we have developed a work methodology in which the needs of clients operating in the complex business and legal environment are our priorities.

Our ambition is to create an added value of the financial statement audit service so that the audit process is not only a fulfillment of the statutory obligation, but above all a tool for assessing the effectiveness of management. This approach is appreciated by our clients.

Three HLB M2 subsidiaries: HLB M2 Ltd., HLB M2 Tax & Audit LP, and HLB M2 Audit PIE Ltd. are the audit companies meeting requirements set out in the Polish Accounting Act and the Act on Auditors.

Our experience in auditing, covering many industries and sectors, enables us to provide a full scope of audit and assurance services:
