The Brief
Aberdeen Skills & Enterprise Training Ltd (ASET), the training arm of the North-East Scotland College (NESCol),
delivers corporate training programmes to businesses across the region. As one of the leading training providers
in the North-East, ASET plays a key role in supporting the region’s energy transition and welcomes training delegates from both the UK and globally.
As part of their annual statutory audit requirements, ASET required a thorough and efficient audit process following the financial year-end of July 31st, 2024. With a three month deadline, they needed a team who could deliver results quickly without compromising on quality. Hall Morrice, having built a strong relationship over the
previous two years, was selected once again for its responsiveness, client-focused service and ability to work within tight deadlines.
The Challenge
Why They Chose Us
Hall Morrice deployed a dedicated audit team, comprising a junior auditor, senior audit team member, as well as a manager and partner overseeing operations, to deliver a seamless audit experience for ASET.
The team began with a detailed planning session, identifying key risk areas and tailoring the audit approach to the client’s operations. With open lines of communication, regular updates, and a strong client relationship, they were able to hit the ground running.
ASET’s well-maintained records and internal systems also contributed to a smooth process. After the audit process has been completed, the team then set to work preparing the final audit report, which went through a two-stage internal review process. Finally, a completion meeting was held to sign off and discuss improvements for the year ahead, all achieved within the required timeline.
The Value We Added
Client Feedback
“Smooth year-end process, including audit, draft accounts and tax comps, all delivered to a tight timescale. Very satisfied.”
“Very satisfied with the service provided and the team are very approachable and responsive.”
