Common questions
About year-end & audit support.
Who signs the audit report?
The appointed independent auditor, not MERAKI as the accounts preparer. The required approval or registration is checked for the relevant authority.
Do accounting subscribers receive a lower accounts-preparation fee?
Yes, the published subscriber rate applies to the same entity and completed records maintained by MERAKI. It is not a discount on an independent auditor’s fee.
Are audit preparation and the audit the same service?
No. Preparation assembles accounts and evidence; the independent auditor performs its own work and issues the opinion. The year-end package reconciles overlapping preparation work before quoting.
How is the fee confirmed?
The fee table distinguishes fixed standard services, starting fees and work requiring a quote. We agree the deliverables, responsibilities and any external charges before you proceed.
