Businesses require a great deal more from their auditors than just the statutory audit and look for a value added service. We believe the ingredients of such a service will consist of:
bullet An interest in your business and its success
  bullet Gaining a thorough understanding of your business
  bullet Input from partners and senior staff
  bullet A team approach to the work
  bullet Continuity of staffing
  bullet Provision of a value for money service
 

The annual audit is a necessary requirement for all companies with turnover in excess of £5.6 million per annum or total assets in excess of £2.8 million per annum.

We believe a good auditor will use the audit process to gather a detailed understanding of the business, which can only be achieved through a high degree of involvement with the key people. This is fundamental to our audit approach and in this way, we are ideally placed to contribute to the business development strategy.
 
International
We have a number of clients who have overseas operations and for whom we co-ordinate the audit process. In all cases:
bullet We retain ownership and manage the process in order to provide a seamless service together with ensuring that the overseas advice is co-ordinated with your UK position and objectives.
We have a number of clients who have overseas parent companies. We work with overseas auditors to:
  bullet Ensure compliance with all reporting deadlines.
  bullet Work to their work scopes and instructions as well as ensuring compliance with UK statutory requirements.
All key members of the audit team have significant experience and involvement in international engagements. We believe that:
  bullet Good organisation and strong central control of the process is the key to carrying out the audit of an international group effectively within tight deadlines.
 
As well as external audit, we also offer internal audit services. Many corporate, public sector and not for profit organisations need effective interntal audit. We can provide a full internal audit service as well as internal audit services for existing in house teams without the ticking boxes approach. Our team already service a number of not for profit organisations and provide internal audit services to corporate organisations. Our approach uses a small team experienced in servicing internal audit needs and provides:
bullet A professional and independent evaluation on the quality and effectiveness of the control environment.
  bullet Areas for improvement
  bullet Strategies to achieve organisational objectives
  bullet A positive contribution to the successful operation of business
  bullet Input from partners and senior staff
  bullet A value for money service
