Audit & assurance

Your annual audit may just seem like a regulatory burden.

At Rushtons, we take the opportunity to go further and understand exactly how your accounting and internal control systems have been performing. We can then suggest ways to improve the efficiency of your business, adding value whilst ensuring you are compliant with the necessary regulations. Also, we aim to make our audits cost effective with minimal interruption to your business.

Unlike large audit firms, we do not have a high staff turnover rate, and so our audit clients can benefit from a continuity of service and knowledge. Our Senior Statutory Auditors are Neil Calvert and Adam Calvert. Neil has over 40 years experience of statutory audit and assurance services, whilst Adam joined Rushtons following experience at a Big Four audit firm.

In the last few years with the audit exemption size criteria having increased drastically, we might have anticipated a reduction in audits but have actually seen the reverse, with more and more clients wanting this service for reasons other than statute. We add value to our clients by providing audit and assurance services and making useful recommendations over their internal control systems. We can tailor our assurance services to be of maximum benefit to your circumstances.

In summary, we can provide the following services

• Statutory audits for individual entities and groups;
• Internal controls testing;
• Specific assurance services;
• Client Money Audits for Solicitors Regulation Authority;
• Multi scheme pension audits;
• Charity audits and Independent Examinations;
• ATOL Return work for the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA).
