We provide Statutory & Compliance Audits, Tailored Audits, Audits of Financial Statements, Risk Management & Internal Control Assessments, Special Reports for Law Firms and Service Charge Accounts Assurance.

Our expert team takes a personalised approach, working to understand your business and provide insight that supports informed decision-making.

Grant Assurance Reports and Independent Accountant’s Reports (ISAE (UK) 3000)

Grant assurance reports are often needed by organisations that receive grant funding. Typically, they show how a specific project’s funds have been used and whether costs meet the grant’s conditions. Depending on the funding requirements, these reports may need to be prepared by a registered auditor, even where a company does not require an audit of its accounts.

Kirk Rice prepares Independent Accountant’s Reports under ISAE (UK) 3000 to support these requirements through a review of grant expenditure.

Learn more on our dedicated Grant Assurance Reports and Independent Accountant’s Reports page.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been using Kirk Rice for over 20 years for my personal tax returns. The team provide me with a clear layout of items, so I fully understand how my tax bill is calculated, with all the relevant tax allowances included. If I have any queries on the figures (which is very rare), they are always keen to explain how the figures were calculated. I highly recommend Kirk Rice’s services …. Good to know I have fully verified records being sent to the HMRC.
