Frequently Asked Questions

What is an audit?

An audit is an independent examination of your financial statements to ensure they present a true and fair view of your business. It’s conducted in accordance with legal and professional standards.

Do I need an audit?

You may be legally required if your company exceeds certain thresholds (e.g., turnover > £10.2m, assets > £5.1m, 50+ employees). Even if not mandatory, audits can enhance credibility with investors, lenders, and regulators.

How long does an audit take?

Typically 4–8 weeks depending on complexity, readiness of records, and responsiveness. We’ll provide a timeline during planning.

Will you help us improve our systems?

Yes. Our audit includes a management letter with practical recommendations to strengthen controls, reduce risk, and improve efficiency.

Can you audit our grant or charity accounts?

Absolutely. We’re experienced with SORP, grant compliance, and charity commission requirements.

How do you ensure independence and objectivity?

We follow strict ethical guidelines (e.g., ICAEW Code of Ethics) and avoid conflicts of interest. Our audit team is separate from advisory services

How does an audit add value to my business?

It builds trust with stakeholders, uncovers inefficiencies, and supports better governance. It’s not just a tick-box—it’s a strategic health check.

Can audits help with funding or exit planning?

Yes. Audited accounts are often required for due diligence, investment rounds, or business sales. They show transparency and professionalism.
