Audit

A really good audit is about more than just checking the numbers and fulfilling legal obligations.

It means working together to reduce risk and enhance financial reporting. At HaysMac, we love a good challenge.

Our 27 audit partners and 10 audit directors lead a team of over 300, putting us among the top 10 largest audit practices in the country.

We act for over 1,000 clients, ranging from public interest entities (PIEs) to charities. Many of these relationships began with referrals and then developed into long-standing partnerships.

As one of less than 30 firms registered by the FRC to audit PIEs, we act for over 40 listed companies, across the Main Market, AIM and Acquis with a strategy to further increase our presence in the listed company market. 

Our latest Transparency Report highlights our strong audit quality, and we’re very proud that 100% of our audit files reviewed by the external regulators in the past year passed their inspections, demonstrating that our unique culture leads to excellent results.

Why Haysmac?

A blend of human intelligence and smart technology

We understand what is important for our clients and create two-way dialogue with prompt and effective communication. Our sector teams specialise from the day they join HaysMac, giving them vast experience of auditing similar businesses.

In partnership with Inflo, our cloud-based platform uses data analytics, artificial intelligence and collaboration tools to improve audit quality and raise the client experience. We provide real-time insights and benchmarking reports, which can help improve your performance and governance.

This combination of great people and cutting-edge technology explains why we are regarded as one of the key audit challenger firms outside of the Big Four.

It’s unusual to find specialist sector know-how at every level of an accountancy firm. We like being a bit different at HaysMac. Meet the team member who’s ready to talk shop. Partner with the best.
