Many limited companies and other entities are required by law to have their accounts audited. We are registered to carry out audit work by The Institute of Chartered Accountants of Scotland and are experienced in the audit of a wide range of businesses, from family-owned companies to international organisations.

Our experience covers companies in the financial, manufacturing, retail and service sectors.

Our audit services aim to provide you with confidence in the accuracy of your financial statements, and assurance as to the efficiency and effectiveness of your accounting procedures and internal controls. We believe that this objective can be met with sound planning and effective communication throughout the year

Specialist External Audit:

Our approach to any audit assignment includes:-
Planning
To organise the efficient running of the audit to focus on key areas.
To identify at an early stage potential areas of difficulty and likely solutions.
To agree the work programme and reporting timetable.

Carrying out the Audit
We have an experienced team of audit staff at all levels of the organisation and aim to complete the audit effectively and efficiently. As well as fulfilling your statutory obligations, the audit enables you to benefit from our experience of all types and sizes of audit clients in assessing your business. During the course of the audit, control weaknesses identified will be discussed and a management letter raised.

Completion
We will ensure that your reporting timetable is met in terms of the approval of statutory accounts and dealing with any other reporting obligations you have. We will also attend board meetings and the annual general meeting if required, and present the accounts in a manner to ease understanding of the key features.

Adding Value to the Audit
We will use the audit as an opportunity to look for improvement both to controls and to your financial performance and offer constructive advice.
