Audit

  • Are you really getting the value-added service you were promised?

We’re aware that many of our competitors will often promise a value-added service and fail to deliver. We guarantee that we won’t just pay lip-service to giving you additional value. We take time to get to know you and your business and its individual needs so that we can provide you with a useful and considered feedback in our audit findings report, identifying ways that could improve your systems, financial information and profitability. 

We dedicate ourselves to building strong working relationships with you and your finance team and strive to work in a way that suits you.  We communicate effectively and in plain English, ensuring any advice we give you is pragmatic and relevant and will help guide you through any changes you decide to implement.  We also aim to bring further value to you through our sector specialisms so you can feel confident that your business is not missing out on any tricks your competitors employ. In these ways we aim to transform your audit cost into your audit benefit.

  • Are you working with an experienced, expert team?

Our vast audit and sector experience over many years includes SMEs, larger owner-managed businesses, private companies with many shareholders, quoted companies and international groups.  We have particular specialisms in property and construction companies and professional practices.  We are also experienced in carrying out specialist audit work for FCA regulated businesses, solicitors and law firms, charities and pension schemes.

We help you to ensure your accounts fully comply with your financial reporting framework, whether it be UK Accounting Standards (UK GAAP) or International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).  We guide you towards producing a well prepared professional annual report to help improve the perceptions of investors, customers and finance providers of your company. 

As you may be aware, for financial years commencing on or after 1 January 2015, UK accounting standards are being replaced by Financial Reporting Standards 100, 101 and 102. These standards align UK GAAP with International Financial Reporting Standards and will impact all but the smallest companies. We can guide you through the impact that this will have on your statutory accounts and how it could impact on your company’s balance sheet, taxable profits, tax payable and its compliance with banking covenants.

We also have experience of liaising with group auditors and assisting with local GAAP conversion to UK GAAP or IFRS and vice versa, covering all your compliance requirements.
