CRAMAR CAT RESCUE
An Unexpected Audit, Made Friendly
Cramar Cat Rescue is a charity based in Hopwood, Birmingham, dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating and rehoming stray and abandoned cats across the West Midlands. Alongside its sanctuary work, the charity operates an animal veterinary practice that helps support it. Run from a small office by a close-knit team, Cramar had never needed a statutory audit until a large donation tipped their income over the audit threshold.
Case Study
Why They Came to Us
The change came as a surprise and Cramar didn’t know what to expect. They reached out to Griffiths Marshall on the recommendation of their accountant, Teresa at Kenneth Morris, and ahead of their first audit sat down with our Audit Manager, Nicola, to walk through what was coming.
We had a good chat with Nicola beforehand, so we were well prepared. The girls are easy to talk to and it’s nice to see their friendly faces.

What We Did
The first audit went as smoothly as Cramar could have hoped. When one was required again the next year, the team had settled into a rhythm and the turnaround was fast.
Audit Semi-Senior, Jess, spent a few days on site, working from a corner of Cramar’s small office. She called on the Cramar team only when needed and they provided the necessary information. It really was that simple!
With the audit thresholds for charities increasing, Cramar is quietly hoping they won’t need to see Griffiths Marshall again, though for all the right reasons.
We were quoted in the middle of May, and the report was handed over by the middle of August. A really speedy turnaround!
