Audit Case Studies

• A new client needed an audit completed within 14 days of contacting us – and had little time to liaise with us. We accessed their records remotely and audited the company with minimum impact on their management. We signed off the audit report by the filing deadline – without jeopardising its quality.
• We identified a new client who had not previously claimed their Employer’s allowances. We reclaimed them for four tax years, saving our client considerable costs.
• On our first audit, we identified that a client had held patents. We saved 9% of the company’s relevant profit and made back claims on profits for the previous six years.
