A statutory audit is a legally required review of your financial statements, confirming accuracy and compliance. At CSG, we deliver clear, independent assurance for directors and stakeholders, while also identifying areas to strengthen governance and decision-making.
Even when not required by law, an independent audit can provide valuable reassurance. We perform non-statutory audits to strengthen stakeholder confidence, support funding or banking needs, and give business owners a clear, objective picture of financial performance.
Internal audits focus on systems, controls, and processes rather than statutory accounts. CSG helps organisations identify risks, test controls, and improve efficiency - providing practical recommendations that enhance governance and reduce exposure to errors or weaknesses.
Many grant providers require independent assurance. Our team conducts audits to confirm funds are used appropriately and conditions are met, giving both organisations and funders confidence in reporting, compliance, and the proper management of resources.
Charities and not-for-profits face unique reporting and governance obligations. We provide tailored audits that ensure compliance with regulations while supporting trustees and boards in demonstrating accountability, transparency, and responsible stewardship of resources to stakeholders and regulators.
Pension schemes must be audited annually. CSG provides clear assurance that accounts are accurate and compliant with pension regulations, helping trustees meet their responsibilities and members maintain confidence in the integrity of scheme reporting and governance.
When full audit assurance isn’t needed, agreed-upon procedures target specific areas such as controls, transactions, or reporting. We work with you to define the scope and deliver focused, independent findings that meet stakeholder requirements quickly and efficiently.
Strong systems and controls are the backbone of reliable reporting. Our assurance reviews test effectiveness, highlight risks, and provide practical recommendations - giving management and boards the confidence that processes are working as intended.

At CSG, you’ll always work directly with experienced people who know your business.
Our partners and senior team stay closely involved from the start - leading your work,
not just signing it off. We believe the best results come from working alongside you,
not at a distance.

to plan carefully, identify risks early, and shape our approach around what matters
most to your organisation. It’s about tackling the real issues directly - so they’re
resolved quickly, clearly, and with lasting impact.

Good communication makes everything else work better. We keep conversations
straightforward, consistent, and tailored to how your team works best. Whether that’s
regular onsite time or flexible remote updates, we make sure information flows
smoothly - so there are no surprises, just steady progress.
