Assurance & Independent Examination

Rigorous, insightful assurance that goes beyond the tick-box — building confidence with stakeholders and lenders.

Independent scrutiny builds trust — with lenders, investors, regulators and your own board. Our assurance work goes beyond ticking boxes: we give you a clear, honest view of your numbers and practical recommendations to strengthen controls. LMJ Group is not a registered auditor and does not carry out statutory audits.

We take a risk-based, partner-led approach, getting to know your business so our work is efficient and genuinely useful. You get a rigorous engagement and a relationship that adds value well beyond the report itself.

What we cover

Proportionate independent examination for charities and smaller entities that need credible assurance without a full audit.

Reviews of your systems, processes and controls to identify weaknesses, reduce risk and improve efficiency.

Limited assurance engagements over financial information for stakeholders, lenders and grant funders.

Investigation of fraud, disputes and irregularities, with clear reporting suitable for management or legal proceedings.

Independent reports, expenditure certificates and agreed-upon procedures in the format your grant provider or funder specifies. Where a funder requires an audit by a registered auditor, we’ll tell you, prepare you for it and refer you.

Practical recommendations to tighten financial controls and reporting following each engagement.

The difference it makes
