Auditing

We are proud to be authorised ICAEW registered auditors, and with over 90 years of experience in this field we can ensure your audit is compliant, cost effective and efficient.

Due to ever increasing regulations surrounding audit engagements, it is imperative auditors are able to understand your business. Through our face-to-face contact with clients we are able to deliver audits with value, advising on client controls and system weaknesses as well as providing proven recommendations to improve your business’s performance.

In addition we have devised bespoke “Assurance Engagements” for clients, of whom do not require a full audit but in turn request specific testing to be undertaken to review a particular department, process or system. Examples include charity treasurer reports, stock system and trade debtors testing and petty cash testing.

So if you in need of a statutory audit or simply would like an internal review of a particular area of your business, we have the resources at hand to tick all the boxes and provide that assurance required.

about our service

I moved to James Stanley less than eight months ago and they have helped restructure my businesses and given me a much greater insight into my finances. I no longer feel daunted by tax and financial decision making because I have my incredible account manager on hand to advise me. Moving to James Stanley was one of the best business decisions I have made since becoming an entrepreneur.

We are really pleased with the help and support given by James Stanley and Co. over the years. This financial year our accounts have been dealt with by Sarah Kent. We are most impressed and her help, advice and support has been first class. Please say thank you to Sarah (and Jayne Cox) for all their help

We have used James Stanley and Co for about 20 years - that probably speaks for itself. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable, professional in their approach and always aim to provide a value-added service

Hi Andrew. Just a note to thank you and your staff for all of their assistance in what has been a very difficult and testing year. May I wish you, your staff and their families a happy and safe festive season. Best wishes.

We’ve worked with Mark James at James Stanley for just under three years, and his support has been outstanding. He’s taken the time to truly understand our business and has helped structure it in a way that’s both efficient and forward-thinking. Mark’s professionalism, insight, and dedication have made a real difference, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to clients, friends, and family—as we already have many times.”

Since 2020, James Stanley & Co have not only ensured all my accounting compliance needs are taken care of, but also helped set plans with us to achieve both personal and business growth objectives to date. They very much are the financial arm to my business and I could not operate without them.

After being presented with a very unwelcome HMRC demand, I immediately contacted James, Stanley & Co and after liaising and challenging HMRC on the matter my demand was reduced to nil! Many thanks for your help, professionalism and determines approach. I would not hesitate in recommending the services of James, Stanley & Co Ltd.
