Companies below the audit threshold may undertake an audit if:

  1. It is a requirement of the bank or other lenders
  2. It is a requirement of external stakeholders
  3. An audit is written into the company’s articles of association

If you have overseas subsidiaries, we can work in a professional and responsive manner with your overseas auditors and accountants. Alternatively, our links with HLB International enable us to give you access to overseas firms, to complete the process for you.

Charities with a gross income over £1million, or those with both gross assets exceeding £3.26million and gross income exceeding £250,000, require an audit.  You will need a charity independent examination, once your annual income reaches £25,000 pa. This applies to charities registered solely in England & Wales. If you are a ‘cross border’ charity, registered in Scotland as well as England & Wales, there are different thresholds that apply.

We offer intelligent and focused audit solutions for all types and sizes of charity.

We have experience in providing accountant’s reports on grant claims for many different bodies, including:
