The increase of the audit threshold has meant that for some businesses a formal audit report is no longer necessary. However, companies may still require an independent assessment of their records and accounts and we can provide an assurance report to key stakeholders such as banks and external investors.

Why Choose Gilberts Chartered Accountants & Business Advisers for Statutory & Voluntary Audit Services?

We are registered to carry out audit work by the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW). Whether you require a statutory or voluntary audit, we apply the highest standards of audit methodology to ensure integrity, compliance and clarity.

Audit requirements can be daunting, but we make them manageable. From initial planning through to the final report, our team handles each stage with transparency and precision. We keep you fully informed and ensure your audit process is smooth, efficient and disruption-free.

We provide a full suite of audit services, including statutory and voluntary audits, grant audits, limited assurance reports, FCA-regulated audits, charity audits and solicitor accounts rule reports. Whether you're a regulated business, charity or growing SME, we tailor our approach to suit your sector and compliance needs.

An audit is more than a statutory requirement; it’s an opportunity to strengthen your business. We identify inefficiencies, highlight risk areas and offer practical advice to improve your systems, processes and financial performance, giving you the confidence to make informed decisions.

Even if your business falls below the statutory audit threshold, you may still need independent verification of your financial statements. We provide clear and credible assurance reports for banks, investors, grant providers and other stakeholders, helping to reinforce trust in your financial reporting.
