Audit support and audit readiness
A smoother audit with fewer queries and no last-minute scramble. We prepare the schedules your auditor asks for, share them in one organised online folder, and answer their questions with you.
What's included
- Audit-ready trial balance and lead schedules
- Working papers and supporting schedules
- Reconciliations for bank, receivables, payables and intercompany balances
- Fixed asset register and depreciation schedules
- Documents from your auditor's request list, organised online
- Liaison with your auditors during fieldwork
- Posting audit adjustments and clearing management letter points
- Documentation of internal controls and processes
We are not your auditor and do not issue audit opinions. Our job is to get your records ready so your independent auditor can finish quickly.
Leaks this fixes
Who it's for
- First audits
- Companies facing their first statutory audit, including opening balances and extra documentation.
- Growing companies
- Businesses whose finance team is stretched at year end and needs hands-on help.
- Lenders and investors
- Companies preparing for a bank, investor or donor review of their accounts.
Common questions
When should we start preparing for the audit?
Ideally two to three months before year end, so balances are reconciled as the year closes.
Can you help with a first-time audit?
Yes. First audits involve opening balances and more documentation, and we prepare both.
Do you support internal audits too?
We can document your processes and controls and help fix findings from an internal audit.
