Ordinary audit<\/h2><\/div>
<\/div><\/div>

An ordinary audit \u2013 which is not dependent on the legal status of the organisation being audited \u2013 is mandatory for any company that exceeds two of the following thresholds over two consecutive financial years:<\/p>\n

Total balance sheet : CHF 20 million
\nTotal revenues: CHF 40 million
\nNumber of full-time positions: 250<\/p>\n

Companies that are obliged to undergo an ordinary audit must have in place an internal control system (ICS).<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Limited statutory audit<\/h2><\/div>
<\/div><\/div>

If the requirements for an ordinary audit are not met, according to the Swiss Code of Obligations a limited audit must be carried out. The procedures carried out in a limited statutory audit are less extensive than those required within the context of an ordinary audit.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
