AUDIT & ASSURANCE

THE IMPORTANCE OF AN AUDIT

 

Audited financial statements form the corner stone of any business entity’s financial information on which stakeholders can rely. Stakeholders include not just directors and shareholders, but the company’s bankers, other providers of finance, suppliers and even employees.

 

Under the Companies Act 2006, a company must have a statutory audit unless it qualifies for an exemption or its Articles of Association says it must. To qualify for this exemption for financial years that begin on or after 1 January 2016, a company must qualify as a small company and have at least 2 of the following:

A turnover of no more than £10.2 million.

A balance sheet total of no more than £5.1 million.

50 or fewer employees on average.

Even if a company qualifies for this exemption, it must still have its accounts audited if a member or members holding at least 10% of the nominal value of issued share capital, or holding 10% of any class of shares demands it.
