Independent Audit Services for Businesses, Charities & Regulated Firms
At CoxHinkins, we provide independent audit services that do more than meet the rules. Our Independent Audit Services will ensure you build trust with stakeholders and demonstrate a well-managed organization. Whether you run a small business, charity, or a regulated firm, our goal is to help you stay transparent, reduce risks, and make confident financial decisions.
Audit Quality Backed by Technology
We use secure online portals to share documents. This keeps your data safe and cuts down on the admin work for your team. Our audits also use smart analytics and automation tools. These tools help us check more data quickly and find risks more effectively.
Every audit is carried out to ICAEW and FRC standards and reviewed internally for quality. With CoxHinkins, you get a modern audit process that’s clear, efficient, and reliable.
Our Audit Services Include
Statutory Audit
We provide legally required audits for limited companies, ensuring compliance with UK company law and accounting standards
Non-Statutory Audit & Assurance
Even when not legally required, many businesses choose assurance reviews for stakeholder confidence. We deliver tailored reports that strengthen decision-making and financial transparency.
Internal Audit & Risk Assurance
Our internal audits go beyond financial reporting to assess internal controls, governance, and risk management. We help you identify weaknesses early and protect against operational, compliance, and financial risks.
Charity & Not-for-Profit Audits
Charities face strict reporting obligations. We provide independent audits and independent examinations that meet Charity Commission requirements while ensuring donors and trustees can trust your accounts.
Pension Scheme Audits
Pension schemes must meet regulatory audit obligations. Our specialists ensure compliance with The Pensions Regulator while protecting trustees and scheme members with clear, reliable reporting.
External Audit
Our external audits offer an objective review of your accounts. By combining compliance with practical recommendations, we support credibility with regulators, investors, and the public.

Frequently Asked Questions
Companies that meet certain size limits or operate in regulated sectors must have a statutory audit. Some charities and pension schemes also need one based on their income or assets.
A statutory audit is required by law. A non-statutory audit or assurance review isn’t necessary but is often chosen to provide extra confidence to stakeholders.
It depends on the size and complexity of your organization. For most small to medium-sized businesses, an audit usually takes a few weeks from planning to the final report.
Not always. Smaller charities may only need an independent examination, while larger ones that exceed the legal thresholds must have a full audit.
We use secure online tools, clear communication, and a collaborative approach. This lowers disruption to your team while ensuring we deliver a high-quality audit.
