Independent Examination

An independent examination offers assurance that your accounts are reliable, without the cost and depth of a full audit. For many smaller charities and organisations it strikes the right balance between credibility and proportionate cost.

Who needs an independent examination

• Charities below the threshold for a statutory audit but above the level where examination is required
• Community groups, clubs and associations that report to members or funders
• Small companies that want independent reassurance for shareholders or lenders

What our service includes

• A thorough review of your accounting records and financial statements
• Checks for consistency and compliance with the relevant accounting requirements
• Identification of any areas needing attention or improvement
• An independent examiner's report for submission with your accounts
• Practical recommendations for strengthening your financial controls
