“Good impression overall. Let’s finalise the Audit within the agreed timeline.”

“Take more ownership when doing work for clients. The services should include an element of review and ownership.”

“The audit process was difficult for the Trust finance team this year. There seemed to be a lack of effective audit management. Timetables were shifted and key schedules, submitted at the outset, were not given timely consideration. Incorrect data samples were sent to Trust finance staff, resulting in wasted time and effort and general frustration. The audit close meeting was held before the audit was closed. The partner presentation to Trustees was well received and the AAR management was effective.”

“We are very satisfied with the service from Cooper Parry. The processes over the years we have used the company as our Auditor have significantly changed and are far more onerous then they used to be, but we have found support and guidance whenever we have needed it. It would be great to have a hybrid audit with remote and face to face interaction in the future. Since Covid we have experienced just remote audits and this has its own challenges. I think remote communication in the initial stages of the audit is appropriate but it would be good to have onsite/face to face during the final scrutiny stages to allow for the miss communications (lack of understanding from our end of the requests made, mostly) to be addressed at the time.”

“Whole Audit process was undertaken on an efficient and timely basis, including follow up on outstanding matters to get to end result on time.”

“We have reduced our use of the personal tax due to tax returns being completed close to the filing deadline. Senior auditor approachable, and timely responses. Would benefit from better coordination between stat. and SAR audit due to a number of duplicate information requests.”

“Very happy with the service.”

“Very good service, delivering to deadlines, nudging where necessary. We all need to do a little more face to face relationship building, not just CP.”

“The audit went well this year, with plenty of support going through the process right to the end! More in-person questioning on the actual audit days will help both the auditors and the school teams. I’m looking forward to next year with more team stability and understanding in the school; we’ll be working at 5 stars then!”
