Independent Examination

How our Independent Examinations work:

A straightforward process, built with your sector’s needs in mind. Our Independent Examination service reviews your financial records and accounts with expertise and care.

Unlike a full audit, this process focuses on identifying concerns or irregularities without requiring a ‘true and fair view’ opinion.

What’s included:

• Review of accounting records: We examine your financial records to confirm they align with best practices.
• Comparison with accounts: We’ll conduct a detailed check to ensure the accounts presented match the records kept.
• Scrutiny of unusual items: We identify and flag any unexpected or concerning entries.
• Compliance review: We’ll review your accounts to confirm they meet charity-specific formats and requirements.
• Impartiality guaranteed: As an independent third party, we maintain objectivity throughout the examination, ensuring full transparency and trust in the process.
• Comprehensive report: Our final report provides clear feedback, helping you refine your accounting practices and maintain compliance.
