What does having "audit-ready" accounts actually mean? π€
Imagine an external reviewer asked you to produce your business' records tomorrow - would you be able to give them everything they asked for, or would you be scrambling to scrape together a report?
Whilst some businesses don't have statutory audits, investors or grant providers may request an audit as a condition of funding, even if your business would usually be exempt. You may also choose to submit for an audit voluntarily.
Regardless of whether or not your business will be audited any time soon, it's good practice to stay audit-ready year-round.
In practice, being audit-ready means:
π Transactions are properly categorised
π Expenses are fully documented
π· Income is reconciled against funding sources
π Reports can be produced on request
