With increasing pressure on businesses to demonstrate strong internal controls and effective risk management, having the right audit support is more important than ever.
At Ping Chartered Accountants, our experienced audit team delivers a range of services designed to help you identify, manage, and reduce the risks facing your business. While ensuring compliance with statutory requirements, we go further—using the audit process to assess your financial and management systems and offer practical advice to enhance performance and efficiency.
For medium or large companies and LLPs, an audit is a legal requirement. However, smaller companies—though exempt—may still opt for an independent review. One such option is an Assurance Review.
This review offers a middle ground: it provides more insight than a basic accountant’s report, but is less intensive than a full audit. Your financial statements will be examined by a qualified professional, and if any issues arise that warrant further investigation, those areas will be explored in more depth. The review concludes with an opinion on whether anything observed suggests a potential issue in the financial statements.
An Assurance Review can be particularly beneficial for small businesses looking to demonstrate credibility to stakeholders, while keeping the process time-efficient and cost-effective compared to a full audit.
A trusted name with nearly 100 years of experience and a strong reputation in business and tax advisory
A proactive and efficient audit process
A team that sees audit as a tool for business improvement—not just a regulatory checkbox
Ongoing updates on relevant accounting standards and guidance on how changes may impact your business and financial statements
During an assurance review, a qualified accountant:
Reviews your financial statements
Compares results year-on-year
Investigates anomalies or red flags
May perform selective testing if concerns arise
At the end of the process, the accountant issues a report confirming whether anything observed suggests that the financial statements could be materially misstated. This report is attached to your accounts to show that an independent review has taken place.
