Audit opinion, audit fees & disagreements with management.

Luxembourg, July 1st 2025.

📣 When analyzing potential investments you need to pay close attention to three audit-related elements & the Beneish M-score :

- Auditor’s Opinion: An unqualified (or “clean”) opinion confirms that the financials are fairly presented.

- Audit Fees: a high proportion of non audit fees or sudden spikes or cuts may flag complexity, disputes, or even cost-cutting at the expense of independence & adequate scrutiny.

- Disagreements Between Management and Auditors & critical audit matters

- Beneish M-score : provides signals of potential earnings manipulation as company analysis is only as reliable as the figures are. Remember the Enron case !

Now, all those 4 elements are available in VingeGPT for US listed companies as we added the audit fee analysis.

Even better, you can see below in the screenshots the differences with unbiaised & identical prompts between a general intelligence model like ChatGPT 4o and custom intelligence with curated knowledge and curated datapoints like VingeGPT.
