Audit & Assurance – Who We Help

We work with a wide range of organisations that value clarity, compliance, and confidence in their financial reporting processes. distinct sectors provide distinct problems, thus audit techniques are always tailored to the specific conditions.

Solicitors & Law Firms

Law companies must follow tight standards for managing client funds, and any mistakes can lead to serious consequences. Our SRA audit services enable attorneys to complete their SRA duties in a smooth way while maintaining the efficiency and orderliness of their financial procedures. We provide complete support in the study of customers’ bank accounts, identifying potential concerns, and improving internal controls.

Charities & Non-Profit Organisations

The core of charity is the confidence between stakeholders and beneficiaries, which can only be maintained by comprehensive financial openness and accountability. Audits of non-profit organisations demonstrate their integrity and conformity with financial rules and regulations. Our charity audits cover the complete income-expense cycle, providing comprehensive financial supervision while guiding trustees’ strategic choices.

Limited Companies

Many limited firms may require auditing services, either to comply with the law or to offer further confidence about the status of their finances. Our Financial audit services offer collaboration with organisations of all sizes to provide accurate, compliant, and well-documented accounting. Beyond just complying with regulations, we assist company directors in understanding their organisation’s financial status, allowing them to make informed business decision

Group Companies & Corporate Structures

Group and company structures can be intricate and difficult to understand, especially when many entities own and operate operations jointly. We assist organisations in integrating these parts to develop a full set of consolidated accounts. Our work ensures a consistent and dependable accounting system that is both accurate and indicative of the entire organisation.

 

FCA-Regulated Businesses

Businesses regulated by the FCA must maintain high levels of compliance, especially while managing client money and providing financial services.

Specialist Audit & Assurance Services for Compliance, Confidence, and Growth

Our audit team bring extensive experience from Big 4 (KPMG) and Top 6 accountancy practices, delivering cutting-edge techniques that ensure an efficient and smooth finance audit process.

Voluntary and Statutory Audit Compliance

We carry out both mandatory and voluntary audits, giving you genuine confidence in your financial reporting and helping build trust with lenders, investors, and business partners. Our audits follow International Standards on Auditing (UK), giving an independent opinion that your accounts show a true and fair view, not simply a compliance exercise aimed at satisfying a filing requirement.

Risk-Based Audit Planning

A successfully executed audit needs some planning. We start by understanding what actually matters in your business, so our testing focuses on your highest-risk areas rather than treating every account the same way.

Clear Communication & Findings Report

It is not about turning over an audit findings report after it is completed. We sit down with you afterward and walk through what we found in plain terms, with practical advice on strengthening your controls going forward. As a result, you can be more prepared to confront problems and satisfy new regulatory needs.

Big 4 Trained Audit Team

Our team brings genuine experience from major accounting and auditing firms, so you get the same technical rigour without losing the personal attention a smaller firm can offer. Senior staff are involved throughout, not just at sign-off. You get the best of both: technical expertise and response from us.

Thorough Fieldwork & Evidence Gathering

When doing fieldwork and evidence collecting, whether remotely or on your site, we undertake a complete review of tests and evidence to support your accounting records. The procedure is extremely detailed since we review all of your transactions, evaluate the control environment, and confirm that the data accurately reflects your business. We always keep you informed so that there are no surprises during the final phase of work, making the process easier for you.

SRA Audit & Compliance for Law Firms

We provide SRA audit and compliance services to law firms that intend to preserve their high-level reputation and standards. We assess your client account handling process, ensure compliance with Solicitors Regulation Authority laws, and identify areas for improvement in your control procedures.

Pension Scheme Audit

Our Pension Audit tests the accounts for correctness and compliance with the regulations by analysing the contributions, benefits and related documents. It assists trustees in carrying out their duties and increases the confidence of scheme members in the figures. We analyse the contributions and benefits of scheme members, test investment valuations and returns, and test the internal controls. Our findings and suggestions are provided directly to the trustees before the scheme’s annual report.

Regulatory Audit

The purpose of a regulatory audit is to ensure that your company meets all of the regulator’s standards for its industrial sector. During the audit, we examine your company’s finances, control measures, and accounting procedures to determine compliance and identify potential areas for risk.

Beyond Compliance — The Real Value of an Independent Audit

In most businesses, a yearly audit is seen as an unpleasant requirement. The reality is that, when done correctly, a good audit is one of the smartest investments your business can make. At Reflex Accounting, we go above and beyond the call of duty to make the audit process really beneficial to your company.

Building Stakeholder Confidence & Attracting Investment

There is no substitute for audited accounting reports. Audited accounts carry a level of credibility that unaudited reports simply cannot match. Credibility can be critical when you seek bank funding, interact with investors, bring major clients on board, or consider moving on to other prospects. Banks and investors want confidence that your data is correct, that your accounting methods are good, and that there are no mysteries about how you operate. The statutory audit does just that by offering an impartial opinion that the company’s financial statements accurately reflect its financial status. At Reflex Accounting, our auditors assist in the process by conducting an extensive and independent review of your financial records to identify possible problems and inconsistencies and meet the required reporting standards for your accounts. Our goal is to simplify the audit process for you while providing greater assurance for your stakeholders.

Identifying Risks & Strengthening Internal Controls

Even the most diligent management teams may overlook difficulties that a fresh perspective might reveal. While executing the audit, our team uses professional scepticism and targeted testing to identify what lies beyond the surface of your company’s financial procedures and systems. We are not merely going through the motions; we are identifying underlying issues that may cause difficulties down the line. Not only we send the audit results to you after the fieldwork is completed, but we also sit down with you and go over everything in simple words, advising you on how to proceed.

Staying Ahead of Legislative & Regulatory Change

Auditing services and accounting rules in the UK are continually evolving. These include the revised audit requirements that went into effect in April 2025, SORP 2026 for Charities, revisions to the FRC, and the increased need to be transparent about sustainability reporting. At Reflex Accounting, we realise how important it is to stay current with these rules. Our partners have experience working for the Big 4 and understand the need to be proactive in audits and accounting. We inform you of the potential effects of changes on your company before you have to find out the hard way, rather than waiting until you ask.

FAQs

When is a statutory audit required by law?

A statutory audit is likely required if your company exceeds two of the following, for financial years starting on or after 6 April 2025: annual turnover of more than £15 million, gross assets of more than £7.5 million, or more than 50 employees. [NEW] These thresholds increased in April 2025, up from £10.2 million and £5.1 million previously, so a company that needed an audit under the old figures may no longer require one. Worth checking your specific position rather than assuming last year’s exemption status still applies.

What is the benefit of a voluntary audit?

Businesses may conduct non-statutory or voluntary audits while not being legally required to do so. The benefit of having your records independently evaluated provides the assurance required by banks, investors, other businesses, and possible purchasers. Another advantage is the ability to discover issues early on. Reflex Accounting supports businesses through this process by tailoring the audit scope to specific goals, whether that means reviewing the full set of financial accounts, a particular subsidiary, or a shareholder agreement.

How do you minimize disruption during an audit?

Our auditors approach is that the auditing process should be handled in line with the processes in place in the organisation, rather than the other way around. By agreeing on a timetable ahead of time and asking for information at acceptable stages of the audit process, we can complete the audit without disrupting your organisation’s everyday operations.

What is the difference between an audit and an independent examination?

An audit is a rigorous, deep dive required for larger companies. An independent examination is a lighter, less expensive review often suitable for smaller charities or non-profits that don’t hit the full audit threshold..

When do I legally need an external audit in the UK?

UK companies must have an external audit if they exceed two of these three thresholds: turnover over £10.2 million, balance sheet assets over £5.1 million, or 50+ employees. 

What is a CASS audit and who needs it?

All FCA-regulated companies that have any influence over client money and securities must conduct an audit in accordance with CASS standards. An audit can check how the company is following Client Assets Sourcebook laws and if adequate controls have been put in place. Reflex Accounting helps by testing client money reconciliations, segregation, and governance controls, then issuing an FCA-compliant audit opinion with practical fixes for any gaps identified.

When is a charity audit required in the UK?

Charities may be required to conduct an audit if their income exceeds £1.5 million, or if their gross assets exceed £5 million and income is over £500,000 (thresholds effective from 30 September 2026). Audits may also be required if a charity’s constitution demands it, or if funders and donors impose additional conditions.

How long does a business audit take?

The time it takes to perform an audit varies greatly between organisations, based on factors such as company size, financial complexity, and the quality of records maintained. Good record keeping and quick access to information greatly speed up the process.

How long does an audit take, and how does Reflex minimise disruption to my business?

An audit should not be finished in a single period since the complexity of the audit is heavily influenced by the size and organisation of your firm. At Reflex Accounting, we guarantee that the process runs smoothly. We obtain the necessary information ahead of time and operate with cutting-edge technology. This eliminates distractions and allows you to focus on your primary activities.

What is the difference between a statutory audit and an assurance report?

Statutory audits are legally required evaluations of a company’s financial accounts. Assurances, on the other hand, simply evaluate the client-requested elements of a corporate entity’s financial reports. They give enhanced confidence but do so in a less severe manner than statutory audits, which need more in-depth study.

I need an audit for my ecommerce business. Can Reflex Accounting help?

Yes. Our Audit and Assurance department collaborates with our ecommerce accountants to assist online firms that require an audit. You can still utilise your present ecommerce accountancy, multichannel bookkeeping, and VAT service while managing your audits through the same business. We guarantee that your revenue recognition on websites like Amazon, Shopify, and eBay is fully compliant with your audits.
