“I put myself in my client’s shoes to gain a broader perspective.“
Matthew King
Partner, Audit & Assurance
Matthew believes that having an open mind is the key to being a good auditor. ‘Everyone has their own experiences and knowledge of a situation. As an auditor, you need to take into account different perspectives while objectively analysing the information at hand’.
With a combination of Big 4 experience and having worked ‘on the other side of the fence’ in a commercial role at Elders Ltd, Matthew understands the practical pressures his clients face. He seeks to make the audit process as valuable and smooth as possible while achieving a practical and commercial outcome.
Matthew has expertise with ASX listed companies, large proprietary companies, not for profits, co-operatives and trusts. In addition to statutory audits, he helps his clients to develop risk mitigation strategies, reviews their internal controls and operations and also provides financial reporting and corporate governance advice.
Underlying Matthew’s experience is uncompromising integrity and a commitment to the profession. He is actively involved with the Chartered Accountants Australia and New Zealand, having been a CA Program Focus Session Leader and a current member of their SA/NT Regional Council.
Matthew’s broad experience means he is well placed to help clients with ongoing solutions to best manage their risk.
