Statutory audits from a registered ACCA firm
When You Need an Audit
Many accountancy firms present audits as an ‘added value’ service. But let’s be honest — you often need an audit because you have no choice. If you are a limited company and your turnover or balance sheet is greater than the set limits, or the bank or shareholders insist, then you require an audit.
As auditors, it’s our job to help you meet the current statutory audit requirements, but we also take the opportunity to review your financial and management systems — often identifying potential problem areas and opportunities to improve your business performance. Like all our other services, we operate on a fully fixed-fee basis.
Specialist Audits
If you need a specific audit or assurance over particular areas of your business, we are happy to help. We can provide you with:
- Grant audits — for grant recipients who need to establish that funds have been spent in line with the conditions of the grant
- Service charge audits — for tenants of leasehold properties who want reassurance that their service charge payments are correctly used
- Solicitor Accounts Rules (SAR) audits — for solicitors who hold money on behalf of their clients
- Rental audits — for tenants and landlords who need an independent report confirming trading activity
- Internal audits — a review of internal procedures and controls for management who want an ongoing check on how things are running
- Audit of completion accounts — to determine the value of assets and liabilities of a business at the point of sale or purchase
Meeting Options
You can meet with the lead partner of our Audit team to discuss your requirements. You can choose either:
An initial meeting — if you’d like to see if we’re a good fit for you. We’ll meet for an hour so you can tell us what you require and we’ll explore how we can help. There is no obligation to use our services.
A project meeting — if you have an urgent need that can’t wait. Before the meeting, we’ll agree the scope of our work and fee, then start straight away. Please arrange a time with our Audit Partner by calling 020 8240 7483 or emailing info@adrianco.com.
The End Result
When we audit your business, you’ll get more than just statutory reports. Your audit will have real impact on how your business performs — useful information into past performance you can use to make improvements, and our expert business knowledge to help generate new ideas.
You’ll also receive an analysis of your business’ strengths and weaknesses — valuable feedback on your key systems, controls, susceptibility to fraud, and how to make your controls stronger.
