Statutory Audit for companies.
There are many reasons why a company requires a statutory audit, as is a particular event, such as an imputation or suspicion of misconduct on the part of employees or management; changes in management or other key personnel; a proposed merger or takeover another company; consolidation of a new legislation that is significant, or the adopted, and ¬adoption of new governmental regulations; initiation of an investigation or prosecution by the government; a lawsuit against the company; actual loss or very likely caused by a legal risk ¬you previously not perceived, etc. .
However, the majority of statutory audits, must be conducted in the ordinary course of business as part of an effective program of preventive legal profession, whose routine evaluations are usually as objectives among others, to develop or refine legal norms for the company's operations in the country or abroad, taking into account the applicable laws or regulations, or other political considerations, ethical, or economic; assess compliance with the applicable legal standards, such as the compliance with company policies; identify the areas in which the company is exposed to unnecessary legal risks, which requires a qualitative assessment of the structure, policies, procedures, contracts, and Other legal documentation of the company.

Currently, entrepreneurs and the society require lawyers with a greater preparation, with knowledge of legal engineering, negotiation skills and techniques for lawyers, commercial arbitration, statutory audit for companies, to be in fitness to carry out strategic alliances, mergers and acquisitions between firms, according to the needs of legal consulting growing companies and the society itself.

The trial lawyer, takes the facts as found and then tries to get the best possible result, while the lawyer preventive identifies the desired outcome in advance and then help your customer to create facts that will produce that result.
Among the tools used by many companies to reduce the potential legal risks are the institutional policies and codes of conduct to establish the rules by which employees and representatives of the institution should be governed; educational programs that include seminars, employee handbooks and video presentations to teach the staff policies and codes of conduct of the institution, and to sensitize them in particular situations which could constitute a violation of the laws or institutional policies; rules for structuring operations, drafting documents, and so on; verification of compliance with the legal regulations and institutional policies; identify the areas in which the institution is exposed to unnecessary legal risks; recommend corrective actions; and lobbying and activities of Public relations to improve relations with the government officials and promote changes in the laws that adversely affect the business or activities of the institution.
