Auditing
Receiving value from your audit - working together to enhance your business
Brebners believe that an audit, delivered properly, can make a positive contribution to your business.
Brebners:
- Ensure we understand your business thoroughly, tailoring our work accordingly
- Focus on the important issues
- Use a secure query management and file transfer portal to maximise efficiency
- Understand the importance of audit team continuity
- Add value by making detailed recommendations on operational and taxation matters
- Maintain regular communication throughout the audit process, discussing any issues and explaining the implications
Our aim is to enable the statutory audit procedures to be completed with a minimum of inconvenience to the client. We aim to minimise disruption by:
- Taking a flexible approach to auditing on-site and remotely where possible
- Striving to fit in with your timetable
- Using a suitably qualified team and review processes to ensure your staff are asked sensible questions
Our audit often highlights areas where efficiency improvements can be made and costs reduced, adding to the profitability of the business.
The responsibilities and regulations placed on us mean that the quality of our work is constantly under review and is therefore of the highest standard.
Brebners' skills, expertise and reputation are based on our extensive experience in dealing with all sizes of organisations including:
- Small owner-managed businesses who require an audit for their own peace of mind
- Large companies and international groups with turnover up to £500 million
- AIM quoted companies
- Pension funds
- Charities
- Solicitors
- FCA registered businesses
- Subsidiaries of larger worldwide entities under foreign control
We perform audits on all the UK operations of many groups with a global presence, and regularly report to the parent company's auditors in countries such as France, Belgium, Luxembourg, Spain, USA, Thailand, China, and Australia.
Often we are the only non 'Big Four' auditor that audits the group, and retain the appointment because of the recommendation of UK management. We are used to cooperating with group auditors.
We would be delighted to discuss your audit requirements further and offer you a quote.
