Accounting Services Audit and Accounting Services: Audits of Private Companies Audits of Employee Benefit Plans Compilations and Reviews Agreed-Upon Procedures General Business Consulting Accounting Services Audits of Private Companies We provide audit services for a number of clients in various industries. An audit provides the highest level of assurance that the financial statements of an entity are presented fairly in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) or an other comprehensive basis of accounting (OCBOA). We take pride in developing long-term relationships with our clients to obtain an in-depth understanding of their business. We can then evaluate risks specific to the entity and to efficiently complete the audit. Audits of Employee Benefit Plans Employee Benefit Plans have received increased scrutiny in recent years from the Department of Labor (DOL) and Internal Revenue Service (IRS).  Our audit services for these plans provide assurance that the financial statements are free of material misstatement and test for compliance with the latest DOL and IRS regulations. Reviews and Compilations We offer review and compilation services are offered to clients seeking a lower level of assurance on their financial statements than an audit would provide.  A review involves inquiry and analytical procedures and provides limited assurance that financial statements are presented in accordance with GAAP.  Our clients often obtain reviewed financial statements to satisfy the needs of third parties such as creditors and regulatory agencies.  Our reviews are also frequently performed to provide limited assurance on financial statements prepared under an other comprehensive basis of accounting (OCBOA).   A compilation is more limited than a review.  Information supplied by the client is used to generate financial statements.  There is no assurance that the financial statements are in conformity with OCBOA or GAAP.  However, our personnel can provide expertise in preparing formal statements for the use of management and third parties and assistance in drafting footnotes to the financial statements. Agreed-Upon Procedures At the request of our clients we will perform services related to specific activities or particular account balances.  These procedures range from confirmation of account balances to reviews and observations of internal controls.  They are typically designed to satisfy specific needs of the client as requested by third parties or management.  The procedures are specifically detailed in an engagement letter and upon completion of the procedures, we issue a report detailing our findings.    General Business Consulting   We are available to assist and advise our clients with matters related to starting a business, budgeting, cash flow projections and ratio analysis.  Our experience and expertise in a wide variety of industries enables us to provide valuable insight to our clients.    Accounting Services We offer a wide variety of accounting services to our clients.  These services include general ledger and financial statement preparation, bookkeeping, and payroll services.
