A statutory audit is more than a regulatory requirement, it’s an opportunity to gain insight, strengthen controls, and build trust with stakeholders. At Prydis, we deliver robust and commercially focused audit services for companies that meet the statutory audit threshold or choose to undergo a voluntary audit.

Whether you’re an owner-managed business, multi-entity group, or preparing for sale or investment, we provide clear, independent assurance tailored to your size, structure, and sector.

What is a Statutory Audit?

A statutory audit is a formal, independent review of your annual financial statements, required for companies that exceed certain thresholds in revenue, assets, or employees. It’s designed to ensure your financial reporting is accurate, compliant, and fairly reflects your business’s financial position.

Even if you’re below the threshold, a voluntary audit can bring significant benefits, especially when:

  • Preparing for funding, acquisition, or sale

  • Managing complex group structures

  • Seeking to strengthen governance or board oversight

  • Working with external investors or lenders

Who Needs a Statutory Audit?

A company qualifies as small (and can claim audit exemption under s477 CA 2006) if it meets at least two of the following three criteria for two consecutive financial years:

  • Annual turnover exceeds £15 million

  • Total assets exceed £7.5 million

  • More than 50 employees

Certain companies, such as those in regulated sectors or with complex shareholders, may also require an audit regardless of size.
