Independent Examination for Charities
We provide independent examination services for charities in Borehamwood, Hertfordshire, London and across England and Wales, with a focus on a clear, efficient process that meets the relevant requirements without unnecessary complexity.
What is an Independent Examination?
An independent examination is a form of external scrutiny required for many charities, depending on their income and structure. It involves a review of the charity’s accounts and records to confirm that they are consistent with the underlying information and comply with the relevant reporting requirements.
This forms part of our wider charity accounting support.
What We Do
We carry out independent examinations in line with the applicable requirements, including:
- Reviewing accounting records and supporting documentation
- Checking the accounts are consistent with those records
- Identifying any matters that require attention or disclosure
- Preparing the independent examiner’s report
- The process is handled efficiently and with minimal disruption.
Who We Work With
This service is suitable for:
- Charities that require independent examination rather than audit
- Trustees who want assurance that reporting requirements are met
- Organisations preparing accounts on either a receipts and payments or accruals basis
Why Specialist Experience Matters
Independent examination is a regulatory requirement, but it also provides assurance that the charity’s financial reporting is accurate and complete. Getting this right helps avoid issues with compliance, supports good governance and gives trustees confidence in the figures being presented.
Work is carried out in accordance with the relevant guidance for independent examination in England and Wales.
