1. Equity Value is an independent professional firm, backed by the reputation for integrity of members of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales and the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants.

2. We already have experience in assisting companies with FRS 20, so are familiar with the practical issues involved in compliance.

4. Our fee structure is simple to understand, agreed in advance and set at affordable prices.

5. The FRS 20 process may be seen as sensitive, in that it involves estimates of market values, which are often linked to the remuneration charge for key executives.  Having support from a specialist firm, independent of both the company and the auditors gives the company and users of the account extra comfort.  The value of independent assistance is reinforced by Auditing Ethical Standard No. 5 (Revised April 2008).
