Service Charge Audit for Property Management Companies
The property management companies collect the service charges and ensure that the lease terms are followed. These audits involve reviewing the companies’ accounts and financial standing, managing service charge budgets and reserve funds, and other matters affecting the value of money for lessees and leaseholders.

What is an audit, and why is it important for my business?
An audit is an independent examination of your financial statements, records, and internal controls to provide assurance on their accuracy, reliability, and compliance with relevant regulations and accounting standards. It’s essential for businesses to undergo audits to instil confidence in stakeholders, including investors, lenders, and regulatory authorities.
What types of audits does Walden Way & Co offer?
Walden Way & Co offers a range of audit services tailored to meet the needs of different businesses and organisations. Our services include statutory audits, internal audits, compliance audits, forensic audits, service charge audits, SRA and special purpose audits.
For example, SRA in accounting means the rules are maintained by the authorised bodies, which are maintained by the SRA (Solicitors Regulation Authority). They are made
so that clients’ money held by the companies is in safe hands.
Who needs to undergo a statutory audit?
Statutory audits are typically required for limited companies, large partnerships, and other entities that meet specific size or regulatory thresholds. However, even if your business isn’t legally required to undergo an audit, it can still benefit from the assurance and insights provided by an independent audit.

The audit process typically begins with an initial planning phase, where we assess your business’s risks, internal controls, and financial reporting requirements. We then conduct fieldwork, which involves gathering evidence, testing controls, and verifying transactions. Finally, we issue an audit report with our findings and recommendations.
What is an internal audit and why is it important for my business?
An internal audit is an independent review of your organisation’s processes, controls, risks, and compliance. It helps identify weaknesses, prevent fraud, improve efficiency, and ensure your business operates according to regulations and best practices.
