Audit, accounting and advisory services

Audit, assurance and other specialist services for colleges and universities

You + Us = More. More support. More advice. More understanding.

Changing audit requirements mean that staying on top of the latest legislation can be tricky. Our teams have worked with Further, Higher and Specialist Designated Institutions for over 30 years now, meaning we’re very familiar with best practice processes and procedures and will help ensure you remain compliant.

Additionally, our team members actively contribute to Education and Skills Funding Agency (ESFA) accounting and audit forums, so we can confidently relay outcomes and updates as soon as they are available.

Supporting you

Supporting you through times of change

Continuing funding pressures, recruitment concerns, COVID-19 and the impact of lockdowns, and now the current cost of living crisis mean challenges continue to be present for the further and higher education sectors. 

Furthermore, consideration must be taken of the impact of the Skills for Jobs white paper, within which the Government outlines its plans to ensure that further and higher education is coordinated in a way that allows young people to develop the technical and practical skills they need to secure good jobs and enhance national productivity. Impacting both colleges and universities, we’re sitting on the cusp of a shift that will impact pupil engagement and numbers, generating subsequent changes to budgets, funding, strategy and more.

Now more than ever, institutional leaders need strategic partners who can empower and assure them. We’ve been a helping hand to the sector since its inception and remain an understanding and unrivalled source of support to our clients, helping them navigate these changes to yield the best outcomes for all. To accurately budget, forecast and ensure long-term financial stability, it’s important that trusts can analyse their financial results and understand how their performance compares to their peers.
