Turning noise into clarity
Independent Audit, Review & Assurance Services across New Zealand
Welcome to Signal Audits, we’re here to help.
Being audited or reviewed can often feel daunting, disruptive and overly complex. We're here to tune out all the static and provide you with crystal clear, straightforward assessments and simple solutions, no matter what level of assurance you require.
We work with various Small to Medium-sized Entities (SMEs), charities, churches, schools, early childhood centres, clubs, societies and many other Public Benefit Entities (PBEs) across New Zealand, tailoring our approach to the size, risk and assurance needs of each organisation. As a focused, independent audit firm, we provide the same standard of service, technical expertise and audit technology used by larger firms, with the added benefits of personal focus and seasoned professionalism at a reasonable cost. Whether you’re seeking audit & assurance services for the first time or simply looking to transition from your current provider, we will endeavour to make everything as simple and straightforward as possible.

Statement of Service Performance
A statement of service performance (SSP) is an integral (and mandatory) part of the Performance Report for New Zealand Charities and PBEs under the PBE FRS 48 and Tier 3 (NFP) standards. The SSP "tells the story" of your organisation's achievements over the past year, using non-financial information. It is a testament to the community impact that your charitable organisation has made and all of the positive outcomes it has delivered.
