How important are company audits for businesses in the early stages?

Performing a statutory audit provides clarity for stakeholders and transparency for banking relationships so even smaller businesses should consider regular audits, explains Andrew Millet, director at Wisteria Accountants

In order to help a business monitor and reliably measure the financial situation of a company, a regulatory statutory audit is vital. Not only does an audit help present a business’s monetary situation in a true and fair manner, but it also provides clarity and comfort to stakeholders that the company has adopted appropriate accounting policies and methods.
