Non-Statutory Audit

What is a Non-Statutory Audit?

A non-statutory audit is a form of audit which is not legally required. Statutory audits mainly focus on financial activities whereas a non-statutory audit is not limited to financial reporting. Non-statutory audits can be used for any part of an organisation. Our UK audit specialists can offer an insight into several areas, such as:

• Operations
• Management
• Human Resource
• Client Satisfaction

Windsor Audit can provide an independent non-statutory audit that is tailored to meet your auditing needs. Following the completion of the non-statutory audit, Windsor Audit will create a report which can be used to assist you in making strategic business decisions. Our London audit specialists can help you to identify the areas of weakness that might be hindering your business growth and goals.

When would you need to complete a Non-Statutory Audit?

There are many occasions when an organisation may need to complete a non-statutory audit. Charities and non-governmental organisations are often asked to partake in non-statutory audits to meet the requirements of contributors or funding. Completing the audit can help gain assurance that the organisation financial practices meet the expected standards.

Creditors and investors regularly request an audit of the companies they do business with. In these circumstances, the non-statutory audit is conducted according to the required standards of the donors, grants, investors or creditors. 

A non-statutory audit may want to be considered in the following instances:

• If you are a growing business or are considering a sale or flotation: Windsor Audit expert can help you certify you have your financials in order and are more appealing to investors.

• If you are an investment manager of a private fund: You will get medium to long term benefits in an audit by building a track record towards being licensed in the future and be open to outside investors.

• If you are a charity, you may be required to engage in a non-statutory audit: We can support you in ensuring you satisfy the needs of donors or grantors by verifying the effectiveness of your financial activities.
