About our Auditing Services

Certain limited companies, limited liability partnerships and charities require auditing services. This decision is normally driven by the size of the organisation although in some circumstances can be demanded by shareholders or lenders. Drummond Laurie are registered with the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Scotland (ICAS) to carry out audits and the quality of our work is subject to their inspection as well as in-house review. Our team follow a structured training program to ensure that they are constantly kept up to date with changes to accounting and audit standards.

Whilst we look to ensure that our audit is as unobtrusive as possible, our clients understand that a thorough and rigorous process must be followed. Our audit team will always work to get a detailed understanding of our clients business with the result that we always end the assignment by providing advice and guidance on how systems and controls can be improved.

"I am writing to thank Gillian Wayne for all her help while setting up my new company. Gillian possesses all the attributes necessary to be an excellent business adviser; she is diligent, responsive, and very patient. Gillian is professional, personable and clearly takes pride in doing a good job. In my particular case, there were a few challenges and Gillian went the extra mile to find a resolution in each case. Many thanks for all your help."

"I had no prior experience of Drummond Laurie or their team until last year when we had a need for some help with the production of monthly management accounts for one of our group companies. Our reporting deadlines are very tight, however, Drummond Laurie have been able to not only meet these every month but in addition they have been able to make the whole process more efficient, which has reduced the time taken and our costs too. In my experience to date, the team at Drummond Laurie are professional and efficient in what they do and have also been friendly and easy to get along with. I would not hesitate to recommend them to any similar business in need of on-going accounting services."

"“We have worked with Ian Bilsland for many years and over that time have found him to be approachable, friendly and always able to explain complex matters in a clear and understandable manner.

As our business has developed he has been on hand to guide us through all of the challenges we have faced.”"

− FIONA LAMB, THE WOODHOUSE KIPPEN LTD.

"“I had no hesitation following David and his team to Drummond Laurie. David has been my accountant for more than 15 years and he is surrounded by a team of professionals. However, the real value he brings to the table is his real-world business experience having worked as the Finance Director in a successful SME for a number of years.

Thus he’s not only good at helping his clients count their beans, but he has hands-on experience of how hard it is to acquire and keep at least some of these beans in the first place. If you’re thinking of switching your accountant, I really can’t recommend them highly enough. So stop reading and go do it!”"

− GORDON COULTER, EXMOS LTD.

"“Before I engaged the team at Drummond Laurie I wasn’t aware of the level of client service that I should receive from my accountant.
They have surpassed my expectations and been a great addition to my business.”"
