Hi Guys
My brother changed accountants last year and had his accounts audited, which resulted in him paying €7k for the privilage. The accounts were standard enough except that he changed his year end, so last years accounts were a 10 month set of accounts. I know that a letter would have to be sent to the CRO for a change of NARD date.
His accountants have now sent him a bill for €480 for the following.
1. Professional fee in connection with the maintenance and up dating of the seven statutory registers of the company.
2. Preparation of minutes of a directors meeting approving signing of the annual accounts, a consent to short notice waiver, minutes of the annual general meeting.
3. Arranging for a companies registration office search to be carried out in the register of companies office and discharging search outlays and fees, reviewing any registered mortgages or charges and filling memoranda of satosfaction ( where appropriate).
4. General review of the constitutional documentation of the company and memorandum and articles of association.
This is to be for the period 1 July 2006 - 30 June 2007. His year end was 31 may 2007 and his accounts were signed out within a few weeks of his year end. I know a couple of hundred euro is not much but should all of the above not be included in the €7k he was charged for the audit.
Plus we dont know what half of the above means. So any help would be great.
He is going to question the bill with his accountants next week but just said we would mention it here first for a heads up.
