Statutory Accounting

We can provide statutory accounts preparation in compliance with the Companies Act 2006 and current accounting regulations from records maintained by a client for limited companies, LLPs, charities and not-for profit organisations . This service also enables us to review a client’s system of bookkeeping and ensure that basic routines such as bank reconciliations, debtors/creditors control and VAT/PAYE controls are in place thus giving peace of mind to the client. This does not fall under the audit regulations and should not be considered as an audit.
