Are your financial accounts accurate?
Reliable reports are just the beginning
Everyone needs to have confidence in financial statements, otherwise, what’s the point in preparing them? If you’re involved in an organisation that is managing large sums of money, your reputation is at stake. Your money might be too.
For some client’s audits and reviews are about legal compliance. For others, it’s about shining an independent spotlight on financial information they are making decisions upon.
BVO Audit works with all kinds of organisations giving peace of mind, that the accounts are in good shape, financial reports can be relied upon, and systems are robust and working as intended.
Painless. Plain language. Everyone wins.
At BVO Audit, we believe the audit/review process should give you much more than simply ticking compliance boxes. It should help improve governance and management, be an easy process, help minimize risks and free your organisation up to do what it does best.
We work with tax-paying private sector companies, charities and not-for-profit organisations, ensuring compliance with the ever-changing laws and regulations. If you’re not exactly sure what the rules are and how they apply to your organisation, we can help.
Working with BVO Audit means your shareholders, Accountant, Trustees, members, sponsors, funders, customers and/or Board, can feel assured. Best of all, with BVO Audit you’ll get a roadmap of what else you can do to decrease your risk.

Do I need an Audit or Review
An audit is the most thorough analysis of an organisation’s financial statements and gives you the highest possible level of assurance.
A review is similar but comes with a lower level of analysis and assurance.

Not for Profit Audits/reviews
If your organisation doesn’t pay tax your annual financial statements may need a statutory audit or review, for compliance. The type of service you need depends on your organisation’s legal structure and operating expenditure.
The bigger your NFP organisation, the more rigorous the rules around compliance. We can help you work out which one you need.
