Statutory audit services for listed entities

Listed entities operate under intense scrutiny. Investors, regulators and the wider market rely on accurate financial reporting – and a statutory audit provides the independent assurance they require.

We have a dedicated listed audit team that has a deep understanding of the enhanced regulatory and reporting requirements necessary for listed entities; as well as the increased expectations of governance and audit committees with respect to detailed audit reporting that they expect.

As an FRC-registered auditor, we are authorised to audit main market and other public interest entities (PIEs). We combine this capability with an accessible, partner-led approach, giving you both technical expertise and personal service. We also act for many entities in secondary markets, including AIM and Aquis quoted entities.

Many of our statutory audits involve complex group structures with international operations. Our listed team is therefore accustomed to delivering logistically complex audits within a tight timetable. We can further draw on the experience, knowledge and capacity of the Kreston Global network, operating in over 100 countries, to provide full international audit assurance to our clients.

Our listed entity audit services

While audit regulations are clear with respect to audit vs. non-audit services Kreston Reeves can provide for PIE, OPIE and other listed entities we can still provide and/or facilitate in a wide range of areas to support your business, including:

  • Full statutory audit of UK and Jersey registered entities, conducted in accordance with ISA (UK) and relevant Companies Act requirements
  • Conducting large group statutory audit engagements, including working in close coordination with the appointed component auditors to deliver on complex audit deliverables
  • Utilising the Kreston Global network in suggesting capable non-UK component auditors as and when these may be required
  • Presenting thorough audit planning and audit reporting to the audit committee at the start and end of the engagement, including the publishing of a detailed final report
  • Delivering key recommendations based on the results of audit procedures performed to improve the strength of your internal processes and the quality of your financial reporting
  • Delivering deeper insights in complex areas of accounting informed by the wide range of auditors experts we can draw on
  • Performing reviews over mid-period financial information market announcements; these can be full ISRE 2410 interim reviews or something more light touch based on your businesses’ requirements
  • Introducing independent experts for tax and accounting and other advice, both in the UK and internationally, to support your needs in areas where Kreston Reeves can’t directly assist

Supporting audit committees and regulatory expectations

We maintain strong internal quality controls aligned with FRC standards and stay up to date with regulatory developments. Our clear reporting, open dialogue and practical insights into financial reporting, risk and governance, help audit committees make informed decisions and approach audits with confidence.
