Audit & Assurance Services

Our audit methodology is risk-based, efficient, and designed to provide real value beyond compliance. We work closely with boards, audit committees, management teams, and stakeholders to ensure that our findings contribute meaningfully to organisational improvement while maintaining full independence and objectivity.

Statutory Audits

1.Statutory Financial Statement Audit

We conduct independent statutory audits in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISA) and the Companies Act, providing reasonable assurance on the fairness of financial statements. Our risk-based methodology ensures robust evaluation of financial reporting, internal controls, and regulatory compliance.

2. PPRA Audit (Property Practitioners Regulatory Authority Audit)

We conduct independent PPRA trust compliance audits in accordance with the Property Practitioners Act and regulatory requirements, ensuring that trust accounts are properly administered and safeguarded. Our audits provide assurance to the PPRA and stakeholders that funds are accurately accounted for, compliant, and protected against misstatement or irregularity.

3. Law Society Audit (Legal Practitioner Trust Account Audit)

We perform annual trust account audits for legal practitioners in line with Legal Practice Council (LPC) requirements and applicable trust account regulations. Our work ensures that client trust funds are managed with integrity, compliance, and full accountability, giving confidence to regulators and clients alike.

Our audits provide trustees and owners with clear, reliable financial reporting and assurance over levy income, reserve funds, and governance compliance.

We provide audits tailored to non-profit entities, ensuring compliance with donor requirements, funding agreements, and statutory obligations. Our approach promotes transparency, accountability, and responsible stewardship of public and donor funds.
