Audits for Video Game Studios 

Ensure Compliance, Gain Investor Confidence & Focus on What You Do Best 

You pour your energy into crafting immersive worlds and unforgettable gameplay. We pour our energy into delivering sector specific audits that will give your studio the financial transparency and compliance you require, whether you require a one-off audit for investment rounds or ongoing assurance to meet the statutory thresholds. 

Does Your Studio Need an Audit? 

Under UK company law, for accounting periods beginning after 6 April 2025, an audit is required if you meet any two of the following criteria in a financial year:

• Turnover exceeding £15 million
• Gross assets over £7.5 million
• More than 50 employees 

For accounting periods beginning before 6 April 2025 an audit is required if you meet any two of the following criteria:

• Turnover exceeding £10.2 million
• Gross assets over £5.1 million
• More than 50 employees 

Even if your studio sits below these thresholds, you may still benefit from:

• A one-off audit for fundraising, publisher agreements or grant compliance. 
• Due diligence reviews for M&A or external investment.
• Ad hoc assurance reports for board or stakeholder confidence.
