Special Purpose Audits

We assist our clients with a number of non statutory audit assignments and other specific reviews. Below are listed a number of examples, we are able to undertake reviews for clients based on their individual requirements.

Completion Accounts Work

As part of an acquisition, a set of completion accounts may be drawn up to help determine the final consideration paid for the company or assets acquired. These are likely to be prepared by reference to the sale and purchase agreement.

In conjunction with dedicated specialists, we can assist clients in preparing, commenting upon or reviewing such accounts.

Our involvement assists clients in obtaining or paying the appropriate consideration for the acquired or disposed company/assets.

Service Charge Auditing and Accounting

Service charge audits are often provided with a widely differing level of service and fees.  We understand that clients need to manage the process, cost and delivery.

Specific Reports

Clients may require a report on a certain component of the financial statements or to confirm that they are compliant with a contractual agreement or regulatory requirement.

How BDO can assist you

We provide a report on:

  • whether a component of a set of financial statements are prepared in accordance with the basis of accounting
