In today’s fast-moving business environment users of financial information are demanding greater reliability of both financial and nonfinancial data. As a result, an audit is increasingly more than just an examination of your books. It’s an opportunity to take a helicopter view of your organization—to assess the quality of information you use to make critical decisions, evaluate your company’s overall financial performance, and help you solve complex business challenges. At Landmark Accounting we view the audit as the first step in developing a long-term relationship built on trust and business insight.

Our audit approach combines a keen understanding of the competitive business landscape with experience evaluating the risks you face on a daily basis. We aim to provide you with the maximum return on your investment through value-packed management letters that offer in-depth analysis of your financial statements, internal controls, and operational efficiency.

We offer a genuinely collaborative approach that seeks to constantly build an ever-closer working relationship with our clients, ensuring a consistent service delivery, and creating the potential for long term continuity. Our people are open, accessible, responsive, and easy to work with. 

We have made significant investments in digital technology and innovation to equip our audit teams with the appropriate tools to deliver an audit experience that adds further value to our clients. This use of technology combined with the experience and expertise of our people reshapes how we look at an organization’s risks and opportunities. It enables us to uncover potential issues and provide greater insights and perspectives, which can lead to new ways of doing business and managing risk.

• You Must Provide Access to Complete Records
  Auditors require full access to financial records, including books, bank statements, payroll data, and supporting documents. Missing or incomplete records can delay the audit and increase costs.

• An Audit is Not the Same as Bookkeeping or Tax Work
  An audit is an independent evaluation of your financial statements. It does not replace accounting services such as bookkeeping, tax return preparation, or internal financial reporting.

• You Need to Plan for Audit Timelines
  Audits must be scheduled in advance to meet statutory filing deadlines. We work with clients to set clear timelines that avoid last-minute stress and ensure full compliance.

• Group Audits Require Coordination Across Borders
  For companies that are part of international groups, coordination with auditors in other countries may be required. We can manage this process for you to ensure it runs smoothly.

• Audit Exemption is Based on Size Criteria
  To qualify as a small company and claim audit exemption, your business must meet any two of the following for both the current and previous financial years: turnover not more than €15 million, balance sheet total not more than €7.5 million, and no more than 50 employees. Failing to meet these thresholds may result in a mandatory audit.

• Group Companies May Lose Small Company Status
  If your business is part of a group, it must meet group-wide financial and employee thresholds to qualify for audit exemption.

• Voluntary Audits Can Add Credibility
  Some companies choose to carry out an audit even when not legally required. A voluntary audit can enhance your credibility with banks, investors, and potential buyers.
