At Pennine Accounting, we offer professional Independent Examination services for UK based charities. This service is ideal for charities that are not required to have a full audit but still need their accounts independently reviewed.

What is an Independent Examination?

An Independent Examination is a form of external scrutiny that provides assurance on a charity’s financial statements. It is less detailed than an audit but still ensures that the accounts are free from material misstatement and comply with legal requirements. The process involves reviewing the accounting records and checking that the charities accounts are consistent with those records.

A charity will require and Independent Examination if:

• Annual income is over £25,000 but below the audit threshold (current audit threshold £1 million).

• There is no requirement for a statutory audit.

• Trustees want to demonstrate transparency and good governance

This service is particularly suitable for small to medium-sized charities looking for a cost-effective way to meet their reporting obligations.
