Statutory audit
An independent opinion on your annual accounts, for the law, your shareholders or your lender.
Evidence from outside the business
An audit tests your figures against evidence you did not create: letters from the bank, invoices from suppliers, the stock we counted with you. That is what lets others rely on the report.
- A planning meeting before your year end
- Attendance at the stock count
- A clearance meeting before anything is signed
