Audit & Assurance

Statutory Audit Services for Limited Companies, Clubs, Associations and Charities.

Whitehead & Howarth Chartered Accountants provide audit services for individual companies and groups of companies as well as both incorporated and unincorporated charities and other clubs and associations.

Whilst the majority of businesses aren’t required to have an audit by law, many of our clients do still choose to have one. Audits can be a valuable tool for management and be a positive indicator of your company’s credibility.

We can provide assurance reports, where stakeholders require more comfort than a mere accountant’s report, to full audit engagements under the Companies Act or Charities Act regulations, and can provide client money audits and undertake Solicitors accounts rules engagements.

  • Nearly 100 years of trusted accountancy expertise.
  • Tailored financial solutions for SMEs.
  • Highly qualified and experienced professionals.
  • Transparent, fixed-fee pricing with no hidden costs.
  • Comprehensive support beyond traditional accountancy.
