Comprehensive Audit and Assurance Solutions for Compliance and Clarity
If your business or organization requires either a voluntary or statutory external audit, or you are exploring the difference between assurance vs audit, you’ll be in expert hands with Accounting People. Our registered and accredited audit team, in collaboration with our accounting and tax specialists, provides a full range of audit and assurance services to meet all statutory requirements.
A comprehensive audit supports your year-end financial statements and offers an independent review for shareholders. But what is audit and assurance exactly? In simple terms, audit verifies the accuracy of financial statements, while assurance in auditing provides confidence in the reliability of financial and non-financial systems. Though many wonder, “are audit and assurance the same?” – the answer is that while related, audit is a subset of the broader assurance process.
Independent examination and assurance through our external audit services are crucial for businesses seeking investment to support growth. We provide a complete, independently verified picture of your organization’s financial health, systems, and processes, which can be vital for attracting investors.
Our audit and assurance services include a range of solutions tailored to your needs, from company audits to independent examinations:
- Company statutory audits
- Audits for NFPs and charities
- Statutory regulatory audits (SRAs)
- Independent examination audit
At Accounting People, our goal is to deliver thorough and reliable audit and assurance services that not only fulfill statutory requirements but also provide valuable insights into your financial practices. As an ACCA-certified team specializing in ACCA audit and assurance, we ensure the highest standards of professionalism and accuracy are met in every engagement.
