Audit and assurance update: A pair of fresh eyes on your statutory accounts

Published: Sunday 17 December 2023

No sooner have you finished one year-end process then there is another one in the pipeline!

Finance teams will, of course, be factoring into timelines the preparation of your statutory accounts, whether in-house or by your auditors.

Change can provide you with challenges at times, including:

  • accounting standards, disclosure requirements and legislation which impact on statutory accounts prepared in-house.
  • ever tightening of ethical rules determining whether or not your auditors can prepare your statutory accounts, or even be able to provide you with the assistance you need.

Financial Reporting Standard 102 (FRS 102) is typically updated on a triennial basis, unless there is a more urgent need to resolve or provide guidance on particular aspects. Even small changes to FRS 102 can have an unwanted impact on your statutory accounts.

Hazlewoods provides a bespoke outsourcing service for the preparation of statutory accounts, which is specifically tailored to your needs.

We provide a fresh and objective pair of eyes over your statutory accounts and disclosures. This objectivity allows us to work with you in recommending improvements to your disclosures.

We also guide you through the accounting implications of change and the related disclosure requirements affecting you.

Our Partner led team ensures compliance and high-quality statutory accounts. By establishing relationships with you, we are able to gain an understanding of your business and provide practical solutions for your statutory accounts.

Outsourcing your statutory accounts also allows your finance team to concentrate on running your business during the year-end process.
