Audit and assurance services for businesses, academies, charities and regulated organisations

An audit should do more than meet a requirement.

At Monahans, we provide audit and assurance services for businesses, academy trusts, charities and regulated organisations. Our team helps clients strengthen financial reporting, improve processes and meet audit and reporting requirements with straightforward, practical advice.

Whether you require a statutory audit, an independent review or wider assurance support, we work closely with management teams, trustees and stakeholders to provide clarity and confidence.

Our process and approach 

Whether you need a statutory audit, wider assurance support or a financial review, our experienced team works closely with you to make the process clear, practical and as straightforward as possible.

Our audit and assurance services include:

  • Statutory audits
  • Academy trust audits
  • Charity audits and independent examinations
  • Pension scheme audits
  • Group reporting support
  • Financial reporting and compliance support
  • Internal control and governance reviews
  • Audit readiness and preparation support

Audit is not just about meeting a requirement. It can help organisations identify risks, strengthen processes and gain a clearer understanding of how they are performing.

An effective audit can provide reassurance to directors, trustees, investors, lenders and other stakeholders, while also helping organisations improve financial controls and governance arrangements.

We work closely with finance teams, business owners, trustees and leadership teams to make the process practical, constructive and proportionate to the needs of the organisation.
