An independent audit specialist provides expertise, objectivity and focus. Because audit is all we do, our team remains fully up to date with regulatory requirements, auditing standards and best practice.For accountancy firms, working with an audit-only provider also removes concerns about competition. We do not offer accountancy, tax or advisory services, so there is no conflict between supporting your client and competing for their wider business.

We work alongside your team and your client, carrying out the audit while making maximum use of the work already undertaken by the accountant. This helps minimise duplication and disruption.

There are many reasons why accountancy firms choose to outsource audit work. Some firms do not have a registered audit department, while others prefer to focus on their core services and bring in specialist audit expertise when required.Outsourcing allows firms to continue supporting clients who require statutory audit services without the cost, regulation and resource commitments involved in maintaining an in-house audit function. It also provides access to experienced audit professionals who can deliver an efficient, independent service while allowing the accountant to retain their trusted relationship with the client.

Wherever possible, yes. Continuity of staff is a key part of our approach, helping us build knowledge of the client and making future audits more efficient.

Audit independence is fundamental to our service. We provide audit and assurance work only, which means there is no conflict between audit responsibilities and the provision of accountancy services.

We work with a wide range of firms across the UK, from smaller practices to larger established firms, supporting clients that require statutory audits and other regulated assurance services. Accountants like working with us because they know we don't offer any other service. The client gets the very best of both worlds - an independent audit from us and accountancy support from their trusted advisers.

No. Our role is to provide an independent audit service alongside your existing relationship with your client. We work collaboratively with accountancy firms and have no interest in providing accountancy, tax or advisory services that would compete with your practice.

Absolutely. We work alongside accountancy firms, not instead of them.Our role is to provide an independent audit service while respecting and supporting the relationship you have built with your client. We recognise that you are the client's trusted adviser and we aim to complement the service you provide, ensuring the audit process is professional, efficient and straightforward for everyone involved.

Clear communication is essential to a successful audit. We work closely with both the accountancy firm and the client throughout the process, keeping everyone informed of progress, key milestones and any issues that require attention.We believe in being accessible and responsive, providing practical guidance and maintaining open dialogue from planning through to completion.

Yes. We understand that every accountancy firm has its own ways of working and communicating with clients.Where appropriate, we will work alongside your established processes and reporting arrangements while ensuring that all audit work is carried out in accordance with professional and regulatory requirements.

Independence is fundamental to audit quality.As an audit-only firm, we do not provide accountancy, tax or advisory services that could create conflicts with the firms and clients we support. We carry out appropriate independence checks before accepting engagements and maintain robust procedures to ensure our objectivity throughout the audit process.

The answer, of course, is no. We provide audit and assurance services. Absolutely nothing else.
