Sector-specific focus
Each non-profit sector has its own challenges. Audicia provides targeted support, whether for hospitals or medico-social institutions, to enhance performance and sustainability.
The hospital sector has evolved significantly over the last ten years. The hospital of the future will involve networking, a shift towards outpatient care, and e-health. The organization and operation of public and private hospitals are part of a particularly complex and highly evolving legal environment. Institutions must meet a wide and diversifying range of needs. Furthermore, they must provide more services to an aging population while adhering to significant budgetary constraints. This dual challenge operates within a highly regulated sector. They must also maintain close relationships with a multitude of upstream stakeholders (suppliers of equipment, devices, and medical materials, university hospitals, INAMI, SPF, AVIQ, etc.) and within the institutions (doctors, trade unions, works councils, paramedics, etc.) to better meet the needs of the citizens they serve. Our role is to support the development policy of these institutions in the face of numerous challenges:
- Improve their performance,
- Strengthen their financial position,
- Comply with new regulations (accreditations),
- Improve patient care...
Our audit firm has been supporting hospitals for many years in their daily management and structural developments, both as consultants and as statutory auditors. We notably provide the following services:
- Assessment of risks related to regulatory changes;
- Financial and accounting structuring of your new construction projects;
- Support for your consolidation (networks) / merger projects of institutions;
- Support in preparing your annual budget;
- Optimization of internal control procedures and the governance of your institution.
Over all these years, we have developed specialized sectoral expertise dedicated to the transformation of hospital business models.
The sector must adapt to regulatory changes, modifications in pricing rules, and uncertainty regarding its funding (particularly daily rates and annual grants), which increases the risks it faces. We support many institutions managed by associations and foundations. Among the many areas of activity ranging from early childhood to old age that make up this sector, we notably intervene in entities that care for:
- Elderly people: MR and MRS, day care centers;
- People with disabilities: adult facilities, children's facilities, ETA (Adapted Work Enterprises), FAM (French Medicalized Residential Homes), MAS (French Specialized Residential Homes);
- Early childhood and extracurricular care;
- Youth assistance;
- Education;
- Integration.
We assist you with the following services:
- Preparation of annual accounts,
- Statutory and contractual audit of annual accounts,
- Financial and legal support during regrouping, cooperation, or merger operations,
- Assistance with financial arrangements,
- Decision-making support for facility expansion projects: financial feasibility analysis,
- Organizational and functional audit.
