Statutory accounts

You may need your annual financial statement audited because:

• The size and type of your business make it a legal requirement
• A shareholder with more than 10% of the voting rights has asked for it
• You have decided to do it for some other reason

Whether it's a statutory audit under Companies Act legislation, or a specialist audit, for example, as required by the FSA, we always select the best team to give you the highest quality, most cost-effective audit, with the minimum of disruption to your business.

Our corporate team has a wide range of skills, expertise and experience, auditing businesses of all sizes and types, from owner-managed businesses to groups of companies, and we are well-versed in reporting to overseas parents of UK subsidiaries.

Thanks to our association with Howarth Clark Whitehill, a national firm ranked in the top 20 UK accountancy firms, we also have access to a level of expertise normally only associated with a national company, but at the same time we still offer you the personal service of a local, independent firm, ensuring, as far as possible, that you always deal with the same members of our audit team.

To help us understand fully how your business works, we work closely with your officers and key employees to focus on your business goals, so that we can advise you on the strengths and weaknesses of your accounting controls and systems, and suggest ways to improve your efficiency.

And remember, too, that, whatever your problem, from accounting particularly complex transactions, to the impact of changes in accounting and regulatory standards, the team is always available to help you, not just at annual audit time, but whenever and whatever matters arise.
