K Walkden, Finance Director at Chelmsford Learning Partnership said:
We don’t see our relationship with Price Bailey, as just the one off external audit work, but an advisor and support on issues throughout the year as they arise. Latest news and webinars are really helpful and we are able to share updates with our finance and other central team members. Our experience with the external audit has always been very positive, with clear communication, timelines and expectations.
