Charity Finance's Annual Audit Survey has ranked accounting firm haysmacintyre highest in the category of "Overall Service".

The survey, in its 15th year, includes data from 1,100 organisations with combined income of £19.9bn paying audit fees of £20.5m.

haysmacintyre was also placed in top positions across the other three categories surveyed – Charity Expertise (3rd), Commitment to the Voluntary Sector (3rd) and Technical Competence (2nd).

Richard Weaver, Charities Partner, was delighted with the result and believed it was further recognition of the high standards set by haysmacintyre and of the effectiveness of the 2006 merger with Trustient.

"Last year haysmacintyre won the overall award, and we are pleased that our clients have again responded positively to the survey and that we retained the overall service award".
