Audit and assurance
Some clients need a statutory audit. We do not currently sign audit opinions in-house, so we work with established NI audit firms who deliver the audit while we keep the relationship, the records, and the rest of your accountancy in one place.

Our process
Assess
We confirm whether you need a statutory audit, an independent examination, or neither, and explain the thresholds in plain English.
Co-ordinate
We brief our audit partners, share the records, and act as the single point of contact between you and the audit team.
Deliver
We prepare the underlying accounts, manage the timeline, and ensure the audit completes cleanly and to deadline.
No surprises, ever
Every engagement is different, so every quote is. After a brief review of your records and what you need, we agree a fixed fee up front. No hourly billing. No surprise invoices. If the scope changes, we tell you before any work is done.

Frequently asked about audit and assurance
Do you carry out statutory audits in-house?
Not at present. We deliver audit through long-standing relationships with NI audit firms. You keep us as your day-to-day accountant; the audit firm signs the opinion. We co-ordinate everything so you only deal with one team.
Does my company need an audit?
A company qualifies for audit exemption if it meets two of three criteria: turnover under £10.2m, balance sheet under £5.1m, or fewer than 50 employees. Charities have lower thresholds and different rules.
What is an independent examination?
An independent examination is a lighter-touch review for smaller charities that do not meet the audit threshold. It provides assurance to trustees and funders without the full cost of an audit.
Can you prepare audit-ready accounts under charity SORP?
Yes. We prepare SORP FRS 102 accounts including fund accounting, restricted and unrestricted income, and Charity Commission disclosures, and hand them to the audit firm in a clean state.
