To be the only firm ever to receive two consecutive years of 100% of files inspected in the top quality gradings bracket, is something our firm is immensely proud of. It’s only been achieved through significant investment in our people, infrastructure, and in driving the right client base for tomorrow. It’s why we will only work with businesses, who share our commitment to quality and where we are sure that we can deliver a top-quality client experience.

Why Grant Thornton

Audit is always changing, but our agile approach to preparing for the future and maintaining excellence stays the same.  

It’s why we’ve structured our audit practice to enable our teams to work across one of three markets (public interest, private capital, or entrepreneurial services), so our people have both the experience and enthusiasm to audit similar businesses to yours.

This expertise and focus ensures you’ll feel like you’re important to our teams and that they’re passionate about the quality of audit they perform.

Consistent quality

Independence and professional scepticism that meet the highest regulatory expectations.

We’re constantly investing in quality control that responds to client feedback and leverages our technical expertise.

We hold ourselves accountable through our Audit Quality Board: external experts who bring accountability and challenge.

Financial Reporting Council’s 2023 Audit Quality Report

The latest Financial Reporting Council’s findings prove that we’re consistently delivering on our commitment to excellence.

In 2022, we were the first firm to ever be awarded the highest quality gradings bracket for 100% of files reviewed by the FRC. We’re delighted that these results were repeated in 2023.

Furthermore, the 2023 regulatory report includes the results from the QAD review where, again, 100% of audits reviewed for our firm are in the highest bracket awarded by the regulator.

Digital enablement

Bespoke proprietary software, our Audit AppStore, and embedded data analytics leveraged by efficient project management mean an effective audit approach.
