An audit is an independent examination of a company’s financial statements, and assurance is the confidence that examination gives lenders, investors and the NBR. HRBD gets your business audit-ready, runs internal audits, and coordinates your statutory audit with a licensed auditor under the Companies Act 1994, so your figures stand up to scrutiny.
HRBD supports audit and assurance for businesses across Bangladesh, from getting your books audit-ready and running internal audits to coordinating your statutory audit with a licensed auditor. Whether you face an annual statutory audit, want independent assurance over your controls, or report to a foreign group or lender, we prepare your evidence to International Standards on Auditing, keep it organised year-round, brief you before the auditor arrives, and stand with you through fieldwork until the report is signed. We also keep your accounting and VAT consistent with the audited numbers.
Every company in Bangladesh must have its financial statements audited each year, and many businesses also want independent assurance over their own controls. HRBD gets you ready for both and keeps your accounts and bookkeeping in order year-round.
Audit-ready accounts and support through your annual statutory audit.
Internal audits of your controls, processes and compliance.
Assurance and reporting your group, lenders or donors require.

It depends on your size, records and the auditor. HRBD prepares your evidence in advance and answers queries quickly, so the audit runs in as few passes as possible rather than dragging over weeks.
Yes. We review your last audit file and current records, flag anything open, and take over readiness from the next cycle.
Your records are handled under written terms and used only for your audit work, with one point of contact and evidence kept ready for the auditor.
Choosing HRBD for assurance means one team that knows Bangladeshi audit requirements and keeps your business ready for them all year. We work to the Companies Act 1994 and International Standards on Auditing, are honest about what we handle and what a licensed auditor must sign, and keep your evidence organised so the audit is never a last-minute scramble when the deadline or a lender comes calling. Because the same team keeps your books and files your tax, the numbers your auditor sees already agree with the numbers you have reported, which removes the reconciliations and surprises that slow most audits down.
When you contact HRBD, we review your business and current records, confirm the scope of your audit work, and agree a start point with no obligation. From there we get you audit-ready, run internal checks, and support your statutory audit through to sign-off. You keep one point of contact, and your tax filings stay consistent with the audited figures from one year to the next.
