“Great communication.”

“Although the service we have received has been extremely good, there has been long delays in partner reviews.”

“Great relationship with Audit Partner and Audit Manager which means resolutions are reached quickly on difficult and complex issues. The accounts are put together in an efficient and well presented manner. The audit team generally adopt a logical and pragmatic approach. Only real negatives were that Kennedy audit was a more a drawn out process than perhaps it needed to be. Reconciling the consolidated accounts back to the Cooper Parry calcs was complex and there were some small discrepancies. As discussed with the Audit Partner I do have some concerns on the level of fees.”

“Great conference, helpful team and super service. Thank you.”

“The account were turned around quickly, and we were kept up to date with the progress of the audit”

“Easy communication, always get back to me promptly, provide advice when needed, like the Inflo system very user friendly.”

“The recent external audit and financial statement preparation were executed with professionalism and thoroughness. The auditor team demonstrated strong technical expertise and diligence, ensuring the process was both comprehensive and transparent. Their approach to testing, particularly in collaboration with the ASCL PD team during the first week, was highly effective and contributed to a smooth progression of the audit work, especially given its proximity to the annual conference. One area of improvement would be the timeline planning. The current schedule presents significant pressure in ensuring all necessary work is completed within tight deadlines. We have already discussed the potential benefits of moving some of the audit activities forward and setting clear dates in advance. Proactively scheduling key milestones would allow for better resource allocation and smoother execution. Another area of improvement would be the team working with their internal colleagues to check the partial VAT and advise on the changes to make for the next financial year. Additionally, the format and content of the audit findings report received positive feedback from elected officers. Its clarity and structure enabled effective review and discussion, reinforcing its value in financial oversight. Overall, the service provided was impressive, and the auditors’ commitment to delivering a high-quality review is appreciated. With a few refinements to planning and scheduling, the process could become even more efficient in future audits.”

“Great team, fit well into our office, professional approach whilst both friendly and very supportive. Pleasure to work with.”

“Communication was excellent and timely and the upload and action processes very smart and effective. Audit staff were friendly and helpful throughout the process.”

“Just very easy to deal with, all very relaxing to be honest!”
