Audit
No business enjoys their annual audit. But our team at PKPI can confidently put your worries at rest and work to help make the process a positive and beneficial business exercise.
What is an audit?
Audit is a procedure carried out by an independent party to assess the accounts and records of an organisation to ensure they have been properly maintained and comply with established concepts, principles, accounting standards, legal requirements and give a true and fair view of the financial state of the organisation's affairs on the accounts date.
An audit may be necessary for compliance requirements, to provide assurance to investors or to review processes and controls. Legally, companies must exceed at least two of the following criteria in order for them to be required to have an external audit carried out:
-
An annual turnover of more than £10.2 million
-
Assets worth more than £5.1 million
-
More than 50 employees on average
There are many benefits to an annual audit, such as improving systems and processes or raising risk awareness, as well as satisfying third party requirements. An audit will allow us to identify any problems or opportunities with you and then devise a plan of action to ensure your business is improving.
