An audit has huge potential to add value to your organisation
From our wide experience of auditing, our team understand the approach that will benefit you the most:
- Being clear with you on what we’ll get done, when we’ll get it done and why we’re asking for certain information
- Involving you as much as possible in the audit testing and developing an approach together
- Getting to know your business, systems and controls at a strategic level, and making recommendations to support your commercial aims and growth plans
- Combining technology with a personal approach, so you can build trusted relationships with familiar faces
We work with a broad range of businesses, from fast-growing startups to established groups, including UK-based and international organisations.
Many of our clients operate in regulated or complex environments and are navigating increasing scrutiny, change and growth.
- Financial services, including FCA authorised businesses and fintech companies
- Property and construction, including large groups
- Charities and not-for-profit organisations
- Academies and schools
- Multinational groups
- Sustainability assurance
Our approach
At BKL we take a collaborative approach to audit and assurance, working with clients across a range of industries to develop an approach that reflects their business, risks and priorities.
Our teams, led by partners and directors, take the time to understand our clients’ business, systems and controls at a strategic level. This enables us to provide insights and recommendations that support their commercial aims and growth plans.
Our audit approach combines a personal, relationship-led approach with the use of leading technology to carry out the day-to-day information gathering, allowing us to easily identify trends and risks and to focus on the human conversations that matter.
Whatever a client’s size or sector, we want them to receive as much insight and value as possible through their BKL audit. Being a B Corp strengthens our commitment to transparency, integrity and long-term value, delivering audits that enhance governance, support better decision-making and give clients confidence in their financial reporting.
Meeting evolving regulatory and reporting requirements
Our audit and assurance work helps clients meet evolving regulatory and reporting requirements, identify and manage financial and operational risks, and strengthen internal controls and governance.
We also support businesses through periods of change, including first-time audits, restructurings, group expansion and preparation for investment or transactions.
Expertise in financial services
Through our particular strength in the financial services sector, we support lenders, wealth and asset managers, brokers, IFAs, e-money institutions, payment services firms, fintechs and hedge fund managers.
Many of these businesses are regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority or seeking FCA authorisation.
US-owned UK subsidiaries
We also work with inward-invested US groups and adopt a pragmatic, proportionate approach to UK subsidiaries, particularly those operating under cost-plus arrangements.
We tailor our work to the size and risk profile of the entity.
Wider tax and advisory expertise
Our audit teams work closely with colleagues across tax and advisory services, seamlessly connecting clients to wider expertise where required.
This includes corporate restructuring, tax consultancy and technical accounting support.
