Request an Account Audit Report
An Audit Report gives your auditor a summary of your account information. We aim to complete all requests within 20 working days from receipt or due date.
Audit Reports are completed along with requests received from the Auditor and are only sent directly to Auditors as they’ll need this for financial reporting or audit purposes.

There could be a few reasons for this:
- Audit reports are only sent to auditors so if you aren’t the Auditor, please check with them first.

Your client can find these on their bank statement.

We send the document to the Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB). They then turn it into the format you’ve asked for.
They can take up to an extra 10 working days to complete this.
