Audit and assurance
A robust but constructive approach
A growing number of businesses are moving to PKF Francis Clark – because of our service, communication, and consistency
The better your auditor understands your business, the smoother and more beneficial your audit becomes.
Done well, your audit process can give you much more than just compliance and reassurance for your stakeholders. It can be a tool to improve and safeguard your organisation.
An auditor who truly understands your business can deliver more value:
- Providing constructive feedback on risk areas
- Giving you assurance on whether your systems and controls operate the way you think they do
- Helping you to make stakeholder communications more effective
But that level of understanding’s hard to achieve when your audit team has a revolving door. And that’s why so many organisations are now choosing to work with PKF Francis Clark.
We give you the opportunity to build a consistent relationship with an experienced audit team. To get fast, robust answers – without your team constantly repeating themselves. To make audit a more constructive experience for your whole business.

Better communication, greater efficiency
Audit needn’t be a chore. We want you to get the maximum business benefit, with the minimum impact on your team. That’s why we’ll work hard to get to know your people – making it as easy as possible to give us the information we need, including access to our easy to use online portal. We’ll agree a clear two-way plan, meeting your deadlines, keeping you informed, and giving you what you need when you need it. The result is a more efficient process, and a more robust audit based on a clear view of your business context. Everybody wins.
A proven, technology-led process
We’re continually developing our audit process to give you the most robust, focused report – with the least possible disruption. It’s underpinned by:
Data-led decision making
Our datamining tools help us to consider whole data sets, not just samples. As well as making your audit more comprehensive, this improves the quality of insight we can provide. And it guides us to focus our human investigations in the most important areas – making us more efficient and reducing the impact on your team.
Experienced professionals with technical support
We’re consistently rated an excellent employer and develop our people for the long term. This gives you the chance to build a consistent relationship with an audit team who understand you well. And, where you have questions, we can quickly source expert answers from our technical specialists in house.
Relentless focus on quality
As well as regular reviews from the industry’s independent regulator, the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW), our audit team is scrutinised by PKF Global – the world’s 15th largest accountancy group.
National and multinational experience
Alongside our constructive process, we bring all the experience and rigour you’d expect of a leading audit team.
Among our experts, you’ll find a founder member of the ICAEW Corporate Reporting Faculty, and colleagues with significant IFRS and UK FRS 102 expertise. And, as part of the PKF Global network, we can offer a consistent audit experience covering virtually any location worldwide.
In particular, we have extensive experience working with:
