Audit and assurance services provide confidence in your financial information and reassurance to stakeholders. Whether required by regulation or chosen to strengthen governance, a well-delivered audit adds clarity, credibility, and insight into how your organisation operates.
Our audit services provide an independent examination of your financial statements, giving assurance that they are accurate and compliant with relevant standards. We take a thorough yet pragmatic approach, clearly explaining our findings and highlighting matters that require attention so you can act with confidence.
Independent examination is a suitable alternative to audit for many charities and not-for-profit organisations. It provides trustees and supporters with assurance over financial records and controls without the formality of a full audit. Our approach is proportionate, supportive, and tailored to your organisation.
We review your risk management framework and internal controls to help identify vulnerabilities that could impact performance or compliance. Our insights support stronger oversight, reduce exposure to financial and operational risk, and improve confidence across your organisation.
Grant audits help demonstrate that funding has been used correctly and in line with the grant conditions. We understand the expectations of funding bodies and work with you to provide clear, compliant reporting, helping maintain trust and support future funding applications.
Internal audit focuses on reviewing systems, processes, and controls to identify risks and areas for improvement. We help you assess whether internal procedures are working as intended and provide practical recommendations to strengthen governance, efficiency, and resilience.
Where a statutory audit is required, we manage the process efficiently and professionally, ensuring all legal obligations are met. Our team works closely with you to minimise disruption and deliver an audit opinion that provides reassurance to shareholders, regulators, and other stakeholders.
Audit and assurance go beyond meeting statutory obligations. They offer an independent view of your financial position, highlight risks and opportunities, and support stronger decision making at board and management level. At Forrester Boyd, we focus on delivering audits that are proportionate, practical, and genuinely valuable.
Our experienced audit team works closely with businesses, charities, academies, and larger organisations across a wide range of sectors. We take time to understand how you operate so our work is efficient, minimally disruptive, and tailored to your needs while maintaining the highest professional standards.
With over 150 staff members across seven offices, we are perfectly placed to deliver big firm expertise with local knowledge and personal support.
