Get an Audit Quote: Request a Tailored Audit Proposal for Your Organisation

If your organisation requires an independent audit, obtaining an accurate audit quote is an important first step. Whether you’re a business, charity, trust, incorporated society, or not-for-profit organisation, audit fees are typically based on the size, complexity, and scope of the engagement rather than a standard fixed price.

A professional audit proposal provides clarity on the services included, the expected timeline, and the estimated cost, helping you make an informed decision before appointing an auditor.

At Aurora Financials, we provide tailored audit quotations designed to reflect your organisation’s specific reporting requirements. Our experienced audit team takes the time to understand your circumstances so we can deliver an efficient, high-quality audit with transparent pricing and professional service.

Why Request an Audit Quote?

Every organisation has unique reporting requirements, which means every audit is different.

Requesting an audit quote allows you to:

• Understand the expected scope of the audit.
• Receive transparent pricing.
• Compare audit service providers.
• Plan your budget.
• Discuss reporting deadlines.
• Understand the audit process before work begins.

A tailored quotation ensures that the proposed services match your organisation’s specific needs.

Who Can Request an Audit Quote?

Aurora Financials provides audit services for a wide range of organisations, including:

• Private companies
• Small and medium-sized businesses
• Charities
• Trusts
• Incorporated societies
• Not-for-profit organisations
• Property entities
• Other organisations requiring independent assurance

Whether your audit is required by legislation, contractual obligations, funding requirements, or good governance practices, we can provide a proposal tailored to your circumstances.

What Information Is Needed for an Audit Quote?

To prepare an accurate quotation, we typically need some basic information about your organisation.

Organisation Details

Understanding your organisation helps us determine the scope of the audit.

Information may include:

• Organisation name
• Industry or sector
• Legal structure
• Years of operation
• Nature of activities

Financial Information

The size and complexity of your organisation influence the amount of audit work required.

Useful information includes:

• Annual revenue
• Total assets
• Number of employees
• Number of operating locations
• Previous audited financial statements (if available)

Audit Requirements

Every organisation has different reporting obligations.

We may ask whether the audit is:

• Statutory
• Voluntary
• Required by a funding provider
• Required under a trust deed or constitution
• Requested by shareholders or trustees

Understanding the purpose of the audit allows us to tailor our proposal appropriately.

Reporting Timeline

Knowing your reporting deadlines helps us plan the audit and allocate appropriate resources.

If you have statutory filing dates, funding deadlines, or annual meeting requirements, these should be discussed during the quotation process.

What Factors Affect Audit Fees?

Audit fees vary depending on the work involved.

Some of the main factors include:

Size of the Organisation

Larger organisations generally require more audit procedures due to higher transaction volumes and more extensive financial reporting.

Complexity

Businesses with multiple entities, several locations, complex operations, or specialised financial reporting requirements often require additional audit work.

Quality of Financial Records

Well-organised accounting records can make the audit process more efficient.

If significant reconciliations or corrections are required before the audit can begin, additional work may affect the overall cost.

Scope of the Engagement

The audit fee reflects the work required to obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence based on your organisation’s specific circumstances.

Every engagement is assessed individually to ensure the quotation accurately reflects the expected workload.

What Is Included in an Audit Quote?

A professional audit proposal generally outlines:

• Scope of the audit
• Services included
• Estimated fees
• Audit timeline
• Client responsibilities
• Auditor responsibilities
• Key assumptions
• Terms of engagement

This information provides clarity before the engagement begins.

Why the Lowest Audit Quote Isn’t Always the Best Choice

While cost is an important consideration, selecting an auditor should involve more than comparing prices.

An experienced audit firm offers value through:

• Strong technical expertise.
• Efficient audit planning.
• Clear communication.
• Professional independence.
• Reliable project management.
• High-quality client service.

Choosing an experienced audit partner often results in a smoother audit process and greater confidence in the outcome.
