Forward thinking audits

When we audit your business, you’ll get more than just statutory reports. Your audit will have:

• Real impact on how your business performs– you can receive useful insights into your past performance that you can use to make your business stronger. We can also use our wider business knowledge to help generate fresh ideas so you can perform better now and plan better for the future.
• Practical insights into your business’ strengths and weaknesses– you’ll receive some valuable feedback on your key systems, controls and risks in your business model, your susceptibility to fraud and how you can make your controls more robust.
• Valuable advice about your tax position– we can prepare your tax returns at the same time as we work on your audit. Your return will be reviewed by our highly-rated tax team who can make recommendations to improve your tax efficiency as well as checking the numbers. Before your year end, we’ll talk to you about the audit, which gives us an opportunity to discuss your tax planning, optimise timings of major transactions and ensure you’re aware of tax opportunities.

As seasoned auditors, we know exactly what you need from us.  That’s why you’ll get:

• Consideration during the audit– you’ll have the same team every year, as much as possible, so we retain our knowledge of your business. We’ll keep the same hours as you and work in the way that suits you best. If we find an issue, you’ll hear about it quickly so you have time to address it. We’ll work to a timetable so your audit is completed quickly with minimum disruption.
• Support throughout the year, not just during the audit – before your year-end, we can meet to plan the audit and help identify tax opportunities. We’ll meet you at the beginning of the audit to kick things off and at the end to report our findings. At other times, we’ll stay in contact – whether it’s for a quick phone call, a coffee in a café or a more formal meeting.
