Our Comprehensive Audit Services
Statutory Audit Services
As specialist registered auditors, we provide thorough statutory audits that ensure full compliance with UK regulatory requirements. Our methodical approach guarantees accurate, timely reporting that satisfies Companies House, shareholders, and other stakeholders.
Beyond mere compliance, our statutory audits deliver added value by identifying financial reporting improvements, highlighting inefficiencies, and providing practical recommendations that strengthen your business.
Our qualified auditors work efficiently to minimise disruption while maintaining the highest standards of professional scrutiny throughout the audit process.
Non-Statutory Auditing Services
Many businesses that fall below the statutory audit threshold still benefit from voluntary audit services. Our non-statutory audits provide the same level of financial scrutiny and insight without the regulatory requirements.
These services are particularly valuable for:
- Growing businesses seeking investor confidence
- Companies preparing for sale or acquisition
- Organisations requiring enhanced financial credibility with lenders
- Businesses looking to improve their financial systems and controls
Our tailored approach means we focus on the areas most relevant to your business goals, delivering maximum value from the audit process.

Frequently Asked Questions
Statutory audits are legally required examinations of financial statements for companies that meet specific criteria set by UK law. As registered auditors in Glasgow, we conduct these mandatory audits to ensure compliance with Companies Act requirements.
Non-statutory auditing services, on the other hand, are voluntary examinations that provide similar benefits but aren’t legally required. Many SMEs choose voluntary audits to enhance financial credibility with investors, lenders, and other stakeholders, or to improve internal controls and financial reporting.
Under current UK regulations, your company generally requires a statutory audit if it meets at least two of these criteria:
- Annual turnover exceeding £10.2 million
- Balance sheet total exceeding £5.1 million
- More than 50 employees on average
Additionally, public companies, regulated entities, and businesses in certain sectors may require audits regardless of size. Our accounting and auditing services team can quickly determine your company’s statutory requirements during an initial consultation.
While many SMEs aren’t legally required to undergo audits, our business auditing services provide numerous advantages, including:
- Enhanced credibility with banks, investors, and potential buyers
- Independent verification of financial reporting accuracy
- Identification of fraud risks and control weaknesses
- Improved financial systems and processes
- Better information for strategic decision-making
- Preparation for growth that may eventually trigger statutory requirements
As auditing consultants focused on adding value, we ensure these benefits outweigh the investment for smaller businesses.
The cost of business auditing services varies depending on your company’s size, complexity, quality of financial records, and specific requirements.
Rather than offering a one-size-fits-all approach, KPP provides tailored quotes after understanding your specific circumstances and requirements. We’re committed to delivering value that exceeds the investment in our services.
To ensure an efficient audit process, we typically request:
- Complete financial statements
- Bank statements and reconciliations
- Sales and purchase ledgers
- Fixed asset register
- Payroll records
- VAT returns
- Evidence of significant transactions
- Minutes of board meetings
- Contracts and agreements
- Previous audit reports (if applicable)
Our tax auditing services team will provide a comprehensive checklist tailored to your business during the planning phase.
The duration varies based on business size and complexity, but most SME audits take between 1-3 weeks for the on-site portion, with report preparation requiring additional time. Our registered auditors work efficiently to minimize disruption while maintaining thoroughness.
We’ll provide a clear timeline during the planning phase, and our team coordinates closely with your staff to ensure the process runs smoothly.
Statutory audits must be conducted annually for qualifying companies. For businesses utilizing our non-statutory auditing services, we typically recommend:
- Annual audits for larger SMEs or those with external investors
- Biennial audits for established small businesses with stable operations
- One-off audits before major events (fundraising, sale, etc.)
Our accounting and auditing services team can help determine the optimal frequency based on your specific business circumstances and objectives.
Trusted by over 400 clients just like you
KPP having been looking after my consultancy and property businesses for over 7 years. During that time I have had a first class service from Stephen and all of his colleagues. I have also introduced a number of my clients to KPP and they also enjoy a first class service.
We at GM Civil and Structural Consulting Engineers Ltd have been using KPP for more than 5 years now years . As well as annual accounting we use their payroll department which has been invaluable, especially over the last year with the challenges around furlough. We have had plenty of regular help and advice to make full use of the schemes available. KPP have always went above and beyond for us in their role as company accountants. By far the best thing that has happened to our company is employing them, they are now an integral part of the GM Family.
I am absolutely delighted with the service provided by KPP. It is really refreshing to work with an accountancy company who is truly interested in their client’s needs, circumstances and preferences. What really impressed me was the way Stephen and his team take the time to get a feeling for what requirements our business needs, your depth of knowledge, lateral thinking and your common sense approach. KPP's professional, ethical and caring demeanour elicits my trust and respect and I gladly recommend your services whenever possible
