Audit FAQs

Q.What does an audit involve?
A.
An audit has to be carried out in compliance with International Standards on Auditing (UK & Ireland) and the requirements in the Companies Act 2006, which are very stringent. The audit is designed to provide a reasonable level of assurance to users of the accounts that those accounts are not materially misstated or misleading. The audit involves a significant amount of work including:
·        Documenting our understanding of your business, and its accounting and internal control systems;
·        Assessing the risk of the accounts being misstated and of material fraud, and focussing our work accordingly;
·        Carrying out sufficient audit tests and procedures to enable us to form our opinion; and
·        Communicating our findings to you.
 
An audit is not designed to detect fraud or errors, merely those that could have a material effect on the accounts.
