Another firm needs a set of Ltd company accounts signing off as bank requireit to be signed/approved by an ACA/ACCA firm.
I have done the ML checks and got all the books and accountants wp's and checked everything off and all is fine.
What wording would you put on the accounts to sign them off as it were?
thanks

Just the standard surely? So long as it is not an Audit Certificate I can't see that there is a liability on your part. The certificate will state that you have prepared the accounts from information and explanations provided to you, etc, etc. which appears to be true.
So ...
You switch to the passive tense and adapt the normal report to something like "I certify that the accounts have been prepared from the records of the company and from information and explanations provided."
I'd be a bit cautious
Is the bank expecting an audit? Be careful with your wording. You might consider a chat with your PI Insurers if you think there might be a significant liability.
