How WDS supports businesses in London
London is a global financial centre and the UK base for many groups with operations in South Asia and the Gulf. It also has a large community of small and mid tier accountancy practices that face rising audit quality expectations.
WDS works with London practices as an extension of their team, and with UK groups that need support for Pakistani subsidiaries.
Audit quality pressure on mid tier firms
Regulators expect stronger documentation and quality management from every audit firm. We help practices prepare audit files, review working papers and implement quality management processes.
What do London businesses need from their accountants?
Monitoring visits
Practices need files that stand up to ACCA or ICAEW monitoring.
Capacity during busy season
Outsourced audit support helps practices meet deadlines without extra hires.
