Need a statutory or charity audit in Leicester?

Whether your business needs a statutory audit under the Companies Act 2006, or your charity needs an audit or independent examination under the Charities Act 2011, our on-site audit service is built to support Leicester organisations without delays or disruption. Companies that exceed two of three thresholds usually require a statutory audit: a turnover of more than £10.2 million, assets over £5.1 million, or more than 50 employees. Charities meeting the income threshold, or whose governing documents specify it, will also need an audit or independent examination.

Speak to our team and we’ll review your position and guide you through the process. Working alongside your team at your premises, we deliver every stage of the audit in person, in line with UK auditing standards, SORP, and Charity Commission guidelines.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a statutory audit and who needs one?

A statutory audit is a legally required review of a company’s financial statements to ensure accuracy and compliance with UK accounting standards. Not every business needs one, but companies that exceed two of the following three thresholds usually do: a turnover of more than £10.2 million, assets over £5.1 million, or more than 50 employees. Even if you’re unsure whether your company meets these requirements, it’s always best to get professional advice. At Millet Audit, we help businesses in Leicester understand their audit obligations and stay compliant with confidence.

The duration of a statutory audit can vary depending on the size and complexity of your business, the quality of your financial records, and how prepared you are. Typically, a standard audit can take anywhere from two to six weeks, from initial planning through to the final report. At Millet Audit, we pride ourselves on delivering audits efficiently without sacrificing quality. Our team works closely with you to minimise disruption and keep everything on track. We’ll agree on a realistic timeline at the outset so you always know what to expect at each stage.

To complete your statutory audit, we’ll need access to a range of documents, including your balance sheet, profit and loss account, general ledger, bank statements, payroll records, invoices, contracts, and any supporting notes or calculations. We may also request information on internal processes and financial controls. Don’t worry if that sounds overwhelming – our team will provide a clear list of what’s needed and guide you through the process. At Millet Audit, we believe audits should be as straightforward as possible, and we’re always available to answer questions or help you gather the required information.

Yes, a statutory audit can be a valuable opportunity to gain deeper insight into how your business is performing. Beyond ensuring compliance, audits can highlight areas where financial processes could be tightened, reveal hidden risks, or suggest ways to improve efficiency. Many of our clients in Islington use the findings from our audits to make informed strategic decisions. At Millet Audit, we don’t just deliver a report – we provide practical feedback and tailored recommendations that can help your business grow stronger and more financially secure in the long term.
