Type of firm
Registered auditors for UK employers
Firms permitted to sign a statutory audit opinion, which most accountants are not.
What they do
An audit can only be signed off by a firm holding audit registration from a Recognised Supervisory Body — ICAEW, ACCA or ICAS. That is a separate permission from being a chartered accountant, and most practices do not hold it. You need one if you exceed two of the three size thresholds, if your articles or a lender require an audit, or if a grant funder asks for certified figures.
What to check before you hire one
Search the firm on the audit register held by its supervisory body, not just the member register — the two are different. Ask who the responsible individual signing the opinion will be. A firm without audit registration can prepare your accounts but cannot audit them.
