Every referral enquiry receives a response within 24 hours.
A UK audit requirement rarely arrives at a convenient moment. The statutory threshold has been triggered, parent reporting now requires an audited UK figure, or a financing, investor or compliance process has surfaced the obligation. Your client expects you, as their principal adviser, to take responsibility for resolving it. As an overseas firm, you cannot sign the UK opinion yourself.
What you need is a UK partner who can take the engagement cleanly, deliver to the required standard and to your group timetable, communicate clearly across time zones, and respect the wider relationship you hold with the client.
Ballards is designed to be that partner. Operating for over 45 years, we work regularly with overseas accountancy firms whose clients hold UK entities, and our approach is built around the specific demands of cross-border referral work: technical UK audit capability, disciplined scope, structured communication and a strict separation between the UK engagement and your wider client relationship.

When you refer UK work to another firm, you need confidence that the relationship with your client will not be put at risk.
Our engagement is the UK audit work you refer to us. We do not broaden the engagement scope or introduce wider Ballards services to your client without your prior agreement. Where requested, communication with the local finance team is coordinated through you, or with your knowledge.
The wider group relationship remains yours throughout the engagement and beyond.
This is how we have worked with referring firms throughout our history of international audit work. It is the foundation of every referral relationship we hold.
