An audit of your financial statements is designed to give you reasonable assurance regarding your account balances from a qualified, independent source. The audit involves planning interim procedures requiring approximately three days, the testing of the design and implementation of internal controls, the issuance of financial statements, and a management letter as required by Statement of Auditing Standards (SAS) 112 and 114. The management letter contains, if applicable, material weaknesses and significant deficiencies as defined by professional standards. It will also contain matters that are not material weaknesses and significant deficiencies, but which we feel deserve your attention. Examples include cash management, risk management, EDP processes and controls, organization structure, document security, and human resources.

A review of the financial statements consists principally of inquiries of company personnel and analytical procedures applied to financial data. It is significantly smaller in scope than an audit. You will not receive the reasonable assurance that an audit provides. A management letter is generally only issued with a review if there are conditions that warrant the attention of management. However, one can also be provided at the request of a client. Additionally, there is no requirement to send confirmations, observe inventory, or test the design and implementation of internal controls or beginning balances..

A compilation requires significantly less in analytical procedures than either an audit or a review. Depending on what you need, the statements may or may not contain disclosures (footnotes). Our basic responsibility for a compilation is to read the financial statements and put them in a GAAP format. Beyond that, we can assist in other areas based on your needs and only as requested by you
