Financial Audit Services That Verify Every Number That Matters
Stakeholders need more than prepared accounts. They need independent confirmation that those accounts are right. ABM Chartered Accountants delivers financial audits that test your income, expenditure, assets, and liabilities, giving everyone who relies on your numbers the assurance they require.
Every Transaction Tested, Every Balance Verified
A financial audit is a systematic examination of your financial statements by a qualified, independent auditor. It tests whether the figures reported in your accounts are complete, accurate, and presented in accordance with the applicable accounting framework. ABM Chartered Accountants conducts financial audits for companies, charities, and other organisations that need independent assurance over their numbers.
Our ICAEW and ACCA qualified accountants follow International Standards on Auditing (UK) issued by the FRC. We assess risk, test internal controls, verify material balances, review disclosures, evaluate going concern, and issue a clear audit opinion supported by a management letter with recommendations for improvement.
What Our Financial Audit Service Covers
From testing your revenue to issuing the audit opinion, here is how ABM Chartered Accountants provides the financial assurance your stakeholders need to trust your accounts.
Revenue & Expenditure Testing
Testing income and costs recorded in your accounts to confirm they are complete, accurate, and real.
Balance Sheet Verification
Verifying that your assets, liabilities, and equity are correctly stated and properly supported.
Internal Controls Assessment
Evaluating whether your financial controls are designed well and operating effectively in practice.
Going Concern Review
Assessing whether your organisation can continue operating for at least twelve months from signing.
Disclosure Compliance
Checking that your financial statement disclosures meet the requirements of applicable standards.
Audit Opinion & Reporting
Issuing a clear audit opinion and management letter with findings and practical recommendations.
Confidence in Numbers Your Stakeholders Can Trust
Directors sign the accounts, but the audit opinion tells shareholders, lenders, regulators, and other stakeholders whether those accounts can be relied upon. A clean audit opinion from ABM Chartered Accountants confirms that your financial statements give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement. That assurance has real commercial value.
Beyond the opinion, a financial audit also strengthens your organisation from within. The process identifies errors before they compound, highlights weaknesses in your internal controls, and delivers recommendations through the management letter that help you produce better financial information and reduce risk year on year.

Frequently Asked Questions
Here are answers to the financial audit questions we hear most often. Contact our team for tailored guidance.
What is a financial audit?
A financial audit is an independent examination of your financial statements. Its purpose is to form an opinion on whether those statements give a true and fair view of your financial position and are free from material misstatement. It is conducted under International Standards on Auditing (UK).
Who needs a financial audit?
Companies that exceed the statutory audit thresholds, charities above the audit income threshold, pension schemes with 100 or more members, and organisations required to be audited by their regulators, funders, or governing documents all need a financial audit. Some organisations also choose a voluntary audit.
What is the difference between a financial audit and an assurance review?
A financial audit provides reasonable assurance, which is the highest level of independent assurance available. An assurance review provides limited assurance, which involves less testing and results in a negative-form conclusion rather than a positive opinion. The audit is more thorough and more widely recognised.
What is a going concern review?
As part of every financial audit, we assess whether your organisation can continue to operate for at least twelve months from the date the accounts are signed. If there is material uncertainty about this, it must be disclosed. ABM Chartered Accountants evaluates your cash flow and financial position carefully.
What happens after the audit?
After the audit, we issue our audit opinion on the financial statements and deliver a management letter to your directors or trustees. The management letter sets out any weaknesses or improvements we identified during the audit, with practical recommendations your team can implement.
How much does a financial audit cost?
Fees depend on the size of your organisation, the complexity of your financial statements, and the quality of your underlying records. We offer transparent, fixed-fee pricing agreed before the audit begins. Contact ABM Chartered Accountants for a tailored quote.
