value of re-testing after manual accessibility audit

Hello, could anybody please help with some advice? I am looking into third
parties to do an accessibility audit of our sites. We are a charity and we
have multiple domains and sub-domains, so it can be potentially expensive.

The companies I contacted quoted us on different variables, one of which is
re-testing after the manual audit check for fixes or new problems created
by the fixes.

Another variable is automated testing on top of the manual as a safety net
in case something has been missed by the manual one.

How much value is there in re-testing? Is it risky to skip this step?
Same for automated testing. How much value, if you have done a
proper manual one?

Many thanks,
Barbara
