Example Standard Membership Packages

We have prepared two example firms to give you a clearer idea of which membership might suit your firm. If you’re still not sure, please call us without any obligation to purchase.

1
SOLE PRACTITIONER
  • Sole Practitioner practice with no additional professional staff
  • Has 2 audit clients, one of which has been with the practice for 15 years
  • Remaining portfolio of non-audit work comprises of UK-based businesses and individuals
  • Recent regulatory visit has identified some weaknesses in anti-money laundering procedures

RECOMMENDED MEMBERSHIP PACKAGE

  • General Practitioner Silver package.

WHY? If the partner has acted as R.I. for 10 years or more, the FRC’s Ethical Standard requires safeguards to be implemented to mitigate the long association threat. Having a hot file review (or “Engagement Quality Review”) carried out by an external party is such a safeguard.

Annual fee: £1,755 plus VAT
Paid in 12 monthly instalments

2
SINGLE PARTNER PRACTICE
  • Practice comprises a single partner with 12 professional staff
  • Has 15 audit clients including two charities as well as two solicitor’s accounts rules assignments and one ATOL assignment
  • Remaining portfolio of non-audit work principally comprises of UK-based businesses and individuals, but a few clients are based overseas
  • Recent regulatory visit was satisfactory but the practice is developing and the partner considers that technical and compliance support is now important
  • The practice is considering introducing a cloud-based platform for audit and non-audit assignments

RECOMMENDED MEMBERSHIP PACKAGE

  • Gold package with Methodologies “add on”.

WHY? The Gold package includes 2 audit file reviews and the Methodologies “add on” provides the opportunity to add specialist methodologies in addition to the “core” methodologies. In this instance, the charities, solicitors accounts rules and ATOL assignments manuals would be selected.

The firm may also consider purchasing an on-demand version of our Quarterly CPD updates covering topical matters relevant to accountancy and audit staff.

Annual fee: £2,760 plus VAT
Paid in 12 monthly instalments
