Auditing services

An annual audit is an essential part of a company’s system of financial control, providing assurance not only for the company’s owners but also for other stakeholders who deal with the company over the year. The annual audit of a company has changed significantly over the years and this area of service is in many cases now being seen as a vital added value service that can be used to help a company’s longer term development. Strict audit regulation now means that in many cases only larger practices are able to undertake this type of work and at CBC we see this as a fundamental part of our menu of services.

As registered auditors we undertake statutory audits for a large number of clients and maintain strict standards over this critically important area of work. A signed unqualified audit report gives assurance that the accounts have been reviewed in detail by a suitably qualified and closely regulated professional accountants; that financial controls exist to maintain controls over the company’s funds, and that the financial statements are free from material fraud, error or mis-statement.

Audits can be carried out on your premises or at our Chelmsford offices if you prefer. A prompt service is provided, ensuring minimal disruption to your business. We are also happy to carry out non statutory internal audits for clients who require these to ensure that controls are being maintained and managed to protect the assets of the business or organisation concerned.
