Audit exemption for private companies

Company law now provides that many private companies are exempt from audit.

If a company's Articles, however, still stipulate that an audit is required, they do take precedence over the Act.  They will need to be changed formally if a company wants to avoid having its accounts audited.

Here is a link to an article about audit exemption, which also sets out which types of company are not entitled to audit exemption.
