Innovate UK Smart Grant – how we helped our client claim
Our Grant Audit team's responsive service

A client was referred to us in January 2021, they needed an Independent Accountant’s Report for an Innovate UK Smart Grant claim.
Due to the size of the claim, the client only needed an Independent Accountant’s Report for the final claim of allowable costs relating to the grant.
We requested supporting information for the grant submission figures assembled by the client and we were provided with the supporting payroll reports and invoices.
Following our review, we were able to prepare our Independent Accountant’s Report and provide a copy of this to the client. The client then submitted our Report to Innovate UK., alongside their submission.
The client was very happy with the speed at which we prepated the Accountant’s Report and the responsiveness of our team who completed the work.

Making Tax Digital launches but few are ready
Making Tax Digital (MTD) is now live, but given the low numbers registered with HMRC, many sole traders and landlords affected are still looking at how to comply, keep the administrative burden to a minimum and will probably be looking for inexpensive, or even free, software to use.
