We deliver expert grant audit services designed to meet the unique needs of innovative businesses and research institutions, whether you’re a growing startup or a well-established organisation.

Our team works closely with you to navigate the complexities of grant funding, ensuring full compliance across single awards or diverse funding portfolios. With precision and clarity, we help you meet regulatory requirements and safeguard your financial integrity at every stage.

We understand that no two grant audits are the same. Each funding body sets its own criteria, and we deliver bespoke audit solutions that align precisely with your grant’s requirements. Whether you’re preparing to secure funding or need assurance for an active project, our team provides end-to-end support, from cost validation to accurate financial reporting, to help you meet compliance and maximise your funding potential.

Audit requirements vary depending on the grant provider, the value of the award, and the level of assurance needed, whether limited or reasonable.

We have experience working with a wide range of funding bodies, including:

  • Innovate UK
  • Horizon Europe Guarantee
  • Horizon Europe (H2020)
  • Horizon Europe (2021-2027)
  • Department for Education (DfE) funding, such as:
    • Initial Teacher Training (ITT)
    • DfE Lead Mentor and ITAP (Intensive Training and Practice)
    • The Turing Scheme
  • Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (DEFRA) funding, e.g. Wildlife Trade & Biodiversity Funding
  • The Kings Award
  • Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) funding
  • Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) funding
  • The SMART: SCOTLAND grant
  • Advance Research & Innovation Agency (ARIA)

While we have highlighted some of the funding bodies we regularly support, our expertise extends well beyond this list. We work with a wide variety of grant providers across sectors and are fully equipped to tailor our audit services to meet the specific requirements of any funding organisation.
