| AUDITING - TUTORIAL 1 Research What Are The Audit Requirements Of Small Companies? The CA 2006 section 477: | The CA 2006 section 477: To qualify as small a company in its first financial year needs to meet at least two out of three of the following conditions: • turnover not more than £6.5m • balance sheet total not more than £3.26m • number of employees not more than 50. |
| To be exempted from audit in respect a financial year beginning on or after 6 April 2008 a company needs to meet all of the following conditions: | • that the company qualifies as a small in relation to that year • that its turnover in that year is not more than £6.5m • that its balance sheet total for that year is not more than £3.26m |

Under the new proposals, UK SMEs would be eligible for audit exemption by meeting any two of the three criteria, saving an estimated £206m a year. An average audit for a small company costs £9,500. |
