Audit
Recording past activity . . .
Helping you set future direction from statutory obligations.
UK Statutory Audit
Legal requirement for ‘medium’ and ‘large’ companies.
Overview
A professionally conducted statutory audit is a means of maintaining the credibility of an organisation as well as being for some, a legal requirement.
The Benefits
Be it for a business, charitable company or other regulated entity, the performance of a statutory audit is a vital control tool that ensures compliance with all relevant legislation. It also identifies internal weaknesses, external opportunities and threats.
Together, ‘audit and assurance’ services play a fundamental role in the successful management of an organisation. All WNJ’s audit and assurance engagements are ‘partner-led’, supported by appropriately qualified and experienced staff.
We do not make a habit of changing your WNJ team once you have engaged with us. The Engagement Partner will stay with you as long as current rotation rules allow to ensure consistency of your service and advice.

Independent schools are public funded charitable companies however and as a consequence, they are subject to a complex regulatory environment. This brings with it new financial risks, challenges and responsibilities.
