Assurance Services
Assurance gives a third party a defensible basis for relying on your information. What form it takes depends on what your entity is actually required to have and on what the party relying on it needs. Those are two different questions, and organisations routinely commission a more expensive engagement than either answer calls for. We establish which applies before quoting.
Where an entity falls below the threshold for a statutory audit, an independent review gives stakeholders a lower cost form of assurance. We advise which applies to you before you commission the more expensive option unnecessarily.
- Independent review engagements
- Public interest score assessment
- Compilation engagements
- Advice on the applicable requirement
Sometimes you need one specific question answered rather than a full opinion. We agree the exact procedures with you and with whoever will rely on the report, perform them, and report factual findings without an overall conclusion.
- Scope agreed with all reliant parties
- Factual findings reporting
- Grant and funding condition verification
- Contract and royalty verification
Funders attach conditions and want evidence that money went where it was meant to. We verify expenditure against the specific funding agreement rather than a generic template, reporting factual findings on eligibility and on compliance with each condition.
- Audit against specific grant conditions
- Expenditure eligibility testing
- Funder specific reporting formats
- Conditional grant reconciliation
