Frequently Asked Questions

Do healthcare practices need an auditor?
Healthcare practices exceeding Companies Act thresholds or bidding on government contracts typically need audits. Private hospitals and large group practices often require audits for lender and regulatory purposes. Solo practitioners generally do not need audits unless their practice entity qualifies.
How much does an auditor for a healthcare practice cost in South Africa?
Healthcare practice audits typically cost R15,000–R50,000 for solo or small group practices, and R50,000–R200,000+ for large group practices or private hospitals. Costs depend on turnover, complexity, and the number of practitioners.
Can accounting software replace an auditor for healthcare?
No. Audits provide independent assurance that cannot be replaced by software. However, clean bookkeeping through Accounter makes audits smoother and less costly. An audit is a separate assurance function, not a bookkeeping function.
