Tailored Audit & Assurance Solutions
- Financial Statement Audits: We conduct financial statement audits meticulously, following U.S. Generally Accepted Auditing Standards (GAAS). This comprehensive process includes risk assessment, control evaluation, and evidence gathering to guarantee the accuracy of your financial statements. As your trusted auditors, we offer year-round guidance and support, streamlining the audit process with technology and checklists that help prepare your team and reduce time demands on your staff.
- Financial Statement Reviews: Achieve a moderate level of assurance with our review services, where we apply analytical procedures and inquiries to determine whether your financial statements are consistent with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). A review provides lenders and other outside parties with a basic level of assurance about the accuracy of your financial statements, without expressing an auditor's opinion.
- Financial Statement Compilations: Ideal for entities seeking financial statement preparation without the need for assurance, a compilation is based solely on information provided by your management, delivering structured financial reports without performing audit or review procedures.
- Agreed-Upon Procedures: For situations where a full audit isn't required, we perform tailored procedures focused on specific financial or operational areas, such as internal controls, fraud investigations, or regulatory reporting. This service delivers factual reporting without opinions or assurances, offering the flexibility to address particular concerns.
- Employee Benefit Plan Audits: Verify compliance and optimize employee benefit plans to protect your organization and employees. If you have more than 100 employees, you may be required by the Department of Labor (DOL) to engage a credentialed, independent CPA firm to perform an audit of your employee benefit plan.
- Inventory Count Observations and Field Audits: Improve accuracy and reporting through precise inventory count observations and field audits.
- Assurance on Non-Financial Information: Ensure compliance with contracts and regulatory audits, maintaining transparency and meeting key standards.
- Due Diligence for Mergers and Acquisitions: Identify risks and opportunities to ensure smooth and informed M&A transactions.
