Baverstocks are registered by the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales to carry out company audit work.
The preparation of accounts and (where necessary), the audit of a year’s results, provide key knowledge and insight into a business’s activities and gives the following:
- A true picture of the firm’s financial situation to owners and management
- Statutory information for both the registrar of Companies and shareholders
- A basis for the Inland Revenue to agree on tax liabilities
- Data from which outside providers of finance including Bankers, can assess the firm’s viability
Auditing
For many corporate clients, the audit is the core of an independent and objective view of their company’s position. In order to perform the audit function in accordance with appropriate standards, it is essential for our staff to be thoroughly familiar with the specific nature, aims, and organization of each client’s business.
In conjunction with the statutory Audit, it is our normal practice to carry out a Practical Annual Review. This is tailored to the needs of the individual client and may encompass areas such as Security, Financing, Credit Control, Business Development, and Remuneration Schemes.


Financial Accounting & Bookkeeping
Many clients discover that they need outside assistance with bookkeeping and accountancy. For some this may be an ongoing requirement – for others, it may just be at peak times or if a particular investigation or exercise needs fulfilling. At Baverstocks we can provide skilled assistance when needed, using in-house resources or personnel from one of our associates.
