Charity auditors league table

The firm named in the audit or independent-examination report of each analysed filing, grouped by normalised name (116,368 filings name a firm). Rates are the share of that firm’s client filings with a qualified opinion, a going-concern disclosure, or reserves below the client’s own policy. Corpus baseline: qualified 0.3% · going concern 4.2% · reserves below policy 8.3%. Firms are listed with 10+ client charities; a high rate can reflect a firm’s client mix (many small or struggling charities) as much as its rigour.
