Audit
When the requirement for an audit of the company accounts is mentioned, it is traditionally greeted with groans and trepidation.
Every business has its weaknesses and it’s key to identify what they are before they damage your business.
As your business grows and becomes more sophisticated, it can be advisable to have an audit as a ‘health check’ on both your business finances and internal systems of control.
The benefits of having a regular audit include :
- Greater confidence in your management accounts
- Highlighting the strengths and weaknesses of controls
- Advising you on improving those controls
- Giving greater credibility to your financial information particularly when publishing to your bank, shareholders and suppliers
Our approach to delivering an audit includes:
