If your UK company or LLP is a subsidiary of an EU parent company that prepares consolidated audited accounts that include the entity, then there is an exemption available if the parent guarantees the liabilities of the subsidiary. (s479A exemption)
Dormant companies and LLPs (i.e. those which have no transactions at all) are also exempt from audit. (s480 exemption)
The company’s directors must appoint a UK statutory auditor. The auditor will perform their work, which includes analysing the accounts and disclosures, looking at evidence that supports the transactions and balances and reviewing changes from one year to the next.
The auditor will report on whether or not the accounts are “true and fair”. The report will be included with the accounts when they are sent to the shareholders, Companies House (for filing on public record) and HMRC (with the tax return).
Please get in touch if you want to discuss the UK audit requirements or availability of audit exemption for your UK company or LLP.
