Slade & Cooper

Accountants and Registered Auditors

Specialists in the charity, social enterprise and non-profit sectors.

Audit and reporting

Statutory audit

As charities deal with public money, in order to maintain public confidence it is very important that their affairs are seen to be transparent and well managed. As a result the audit threshold for charities is significantly lower than for non charitable organisations. As charity specialists, we are able to offer an audit service which is focussed and efficient, creating additional benefits for your charity. For example, we provide a post audit reporting on weaknesses in your accounting systems.

We also have experience of auditing social enterprises, third sector organisations and other organisations such as unincorporated associations, Registered Social Landlords, and Industrial and Provident Societies

Independent examination

Charities (and from 2009, charitable companies) with income below the audit threshold require an independent examination (a “light touch” audit). We have a wide experience of this work and are able to offer a focussed and efficient service tailored to your needs.

Company reports

Companies limited by guarantee may require a non-statutory audit, assurance report or accountant’s report. We are able to offer our clients the appropriate service to match their requirements.

Grant audits

Major funders often require an audit report on their grants awarded. We have a wide experience of work in this area for a number of different funders.

Other statutory reports

We are able to provide reports on statutory accounts for a wide range of organisations including social enterprises, unincorporated associations, Registered Social Landlords, and Industrial and Provident Societies.
