Grant Audit Services in Northampton

Grant audits are a highly specialist area. Many grants, such as InnovateUK, FP7, Horizon 2020 and INTERREG need to be certified and reported to funders by an independent Registered Auditor.

Given the complexities of funding arrangements and project management systems, working with specialists is essential. Controls must be in place to ensure that funding monies are used for the purposes intended, that costs are reasonable and appropriate, and that expenditure is compliant with relevant legislation. This need for accountability puts a significant burden on companies to put in place controls, maintain adequate paperwork and produce robust financial reporting.

The completion of a grant audit puts these controls to the test. This can be a challenging time for grant management and finance staff so it’s essential to work with a specialist that is familiar with the funders’ requirements and one that is experienced in establishing efficient audit processes.

I had the pleasure of working with James from Elsby & Co as my accountant, and I cannot recommend him enough. James is an expert in his field, and he provided me with fantastic accounting services that went above and beyond my expectations. James took the time to understand my business and my financial needs, and he provided me with tailored advice and solutions that helped me to improve my bottom line. He is knowledgeable, efficient, and detail-oriented, ensuring that all of my financial records were accurate and up-to-date. In addition to his technical abilities, James is also a pleasure to work with. He is friendly, approachable, and always available to answer any questions I had. He made the often-daunting process of managing my finances a breeze, and I always felt confident that my financial affairs were in good hands. Overall, I cannot recommend James and Elsby & Co enough. If you are looking for an accountant who can provide you with top-notch services and help you to achieve your financial goals, look no further. James is the best in the business, and I guarantee that you will not be disappointed!
