File Review Service

Small Company Reporting Limited provides a file review service by post or carrier. In addition to reviewing SCR files, we can usually review files using alterative methodologies.

Two types of review are available:

A hot review one carried out before the audit report is signed off. These are often required as a safeguard against a threat to independence for example, the partmer has acted for more than ten years.
A cold file review usually carried out as part of the firm's annual compliance review.

The key features are as follows:
