Independent Examination

wave

In England and Wales, an independent examination is required for charities whose annual income is:

  • Between £25,000 and £250,000, or…
  • Between £250,000 and £1 million, as long as total assets (before liabilities) are £3.26 million or less (otherwise a statutory audit applies)

An independent examination undertaken by one of the Burton Sweet Charities Team offers the bedrock of confidence, so you can meet the needs of your funders, donors, beneficiaries and wider public. We know the Charity Commission’s Directions inside out and can apply our thorough understanding of the sector to ensure a robust examination.
