External audit services for businesses and charities
Meeting the latest audit & regulatory requirements with confidence
At Moore, we take a forward-looking approach to audit that goes beyond compliance. The UK audit landscape has been shaped by heightened regulatory scrutiny, evolving International Standards on Auditing (ISAs), and increasing expectations from stakeholders. For Owner managed businesses, this means audits are no longer just a statutory obligation, they are a vital tool for strengthening governance, mitigating risk, and providing assurance to investors, lenders, and stakeholders.
Our audit approach
We deliver a risk-based audit methodology that is tailored to the specific circumstances of your business. Our approach incorporates:
-
Internal controls over financial reporting (ICFR): Assessing the design and operating effectiveness of control environments in line with the latest UK Corporate Governance Code and FRC guidance.
-
IT general controls and systems assurance: Evaluating the security, reliability, and integrity of your IT systems and data flows, including cyber-resilience considerations.
-
Data analytics and digital tools: Leveraging advanced analytics to identify anomalies, trends, and performance variances, providing you with actionable insights.
-
Compliance with UK ISAs: Ensuring your financial statements comply with the International Standards on Auditing (UK) and other relevant regulatory frameworks.
-
Specialist reviews & assurance engagements: Targeted reviews, including agreed-upon procedures, regulatory reporting, and sector-specific compliance assurance.
