Conducting an audit on your business can have many benefiting outcomes. You may need to satisfy compliance requirements, ensure your financial accounts are true and fair, provide assurance to current or potential investors / lenders or review your processes and controls. Depending on the size of the business or the sector in which it operates, an audit might be statutory. But even if it is not, a statutory audit can provide a business with confidence in its finances, operations, compliance, and efficiencies. 

Bracey’s have a team of expert auditors that can carry out both statutory and non-statutory audits across a wide range of sectors, including those that have specific industry requirements. Whether you are a business that has statutory audit requirements, belongs to a group and either requires a component or group/lead audit or would like to execute a non-statutory audit to better understand the health of your business, Bracey’s can deliver effective and timely audits that will result in independent advice to help your business grow and expand.

Group Audits

No matter your company size, if you are part of a larger group whether in the UK or outside, you are likely required to have a statutory audit of your financial statements. We have experience in acting as both component and lead auditors within a group. The rules can be quite confusing, contact us for a review of your obligations.

Industries

Our team of experts have a vast amount of experience conducting audits across a number of different businesses that operate in various sectors:

We approach every audit with three key beliefs; Simplicity, Minimal Disruption, and Communication Excellence. In order to achieve this we start by breaking our audit process into a series of simple steps:

Tailored Planning

Before we get started carrying out the audit, we focus our time to understand your business, from objectives all the way to procedures. Planning is the key process in any audit and we take the time to consider all aspects of your business specific to you and your industry in understanding your business, how it operates and its industry. We plan a risk-based audit that focuses on risk areas and provides assurance on your financial statements.

Fieldwork

In the planning step, we will set out how we conduct the audit with minimum disruption. We know your staff have plenty of other priorities, so when we are conducting the audit we keep things simple and ensure communication is as seamless as possible.

Close Down

This is where we summarise the work undertaken and the findings. These matters will be discussed during the course of the audit as it progresses but this enables us to collectively reflect on the audit and discuss findings and observations to close the audit down and provide you with value from the audit work undertaken where appropriate.

Audit Report

Once all matters are resolved we will issue an appropriate audit report and the financial statements filed.
