Accountants Sussex Can Help With Auditing And Tax Preparation

An auditor is often hired by business owners on a periodic basis to go through the accounts carefully and precisely, and to make sure that nothing untoward is happening. An audit may be required for numerous reasons including disclosure, legal questions, compliance or taxation. In larger companies, shareholders can request an audit if they are unhappy with the financial statements they are being presented with. In small companies, it may be one partner requesting the information be checked. While official audits are often carried out by a professional auditor, you can request your Worthing accountants take a good look at your financials and carry out an internal audit. As well as highlighting potential problems, such as money going missing, costs not being recorded or invoices not being issued correctly, such an audit will stand you in good stead prior to tax preparation time. Finding mistakes before your accounts are opened to HMRC is always beneficial. Not finding a mistake, only to have HMRC find it, and believe you to have deliberately hidden the truth could be very costly.
