Precision.
Integrity.
Assurance.

A financial audit is an independent examination of your company’s financial statements and systems. Its main purpose is to ensure that the information presented is accurate, transparent, and complies with accounting regulations and standards. At Millet Accountants, we see auditing not just as a compliance task, but as a vital tool for maintaining credibility and trust. Whether you are a limited company, charity, or growing enterprise, a well-executed audit can uncover inefficiencies, reduce risk, and help you plan more effectively for the future. Audits also give stakeholders—such as banks, investors, and shareholders—confidence that your financial reporting is reliable. In a fast-moving business hub like London, this level of assurance is invaluable. A financial audit can strengthen internal controls, identify issues before they become costly problems, and ultimately give you peace of mind that your finances are in good order.

Not every business is legally required to undergo a statutory audit, but many are. In the UK, your company must have a statutory audit if it meets two or more of the following criteria: an annual turnover of over £10.2 million, assets worth more than £5.1 million, or over 50 employees. However, some companies must have an audit regardless of size—such as public companies, those in regulated industries, or businesses where shareholders demand it. At Millet Accountants, we can quickly assess whether your business needs a statutory audit and help guide you through the process. Even if it’s not a legal obligation, many London businesses choose to have an audit voluntarily to improve financial transparency and support future growth. Our team ensures the process is smooth, efficient, and fully compliant with UK regulations, giving you assurance that your finances are accurate and your business is on solid ground.

The length of a financial audit can vary depending on the size and complexity of your business. Typically, most audits take between two to six weeks from planning to final report. At Millet Accountants, we begin by thoroughly understanding your business and financial processes, which allows us to identify any potential risks or challenges early on. We then carry out fieldwork, analyse your accounts, test financial controls, and prepare a detailed audit report with our findings and recommendations. Clear communication is central to how we work, so we’ll keep you informed at every stage. We also work around your schedule to minimise disruption to your day-to-day operations. Our experience with a wide variety of London-based businesses means we’re able to anticipate challenges and complete audits efficiently without compromising quality. The result is a clear, thorough, and timely audit that you can trust.
