Whether you're seeking additional capital, better terms from your
banker, courting investors or just looking for ways to improve
operations, an audit provides information you can depend on to make
quality decisions.
An audit provides the highest level of assurance. An audit is a methodical review and objective examination
of the financial statements, including the verification of specific information as determined by the auditor or as
established by general practice.
My work includes an audit of internal controls, testing of selected transactions, and communication with
third parties. Based on my findings, I issue a report on whether the financial statements are fairly stated and free
of material misstatements.
Due to more stringent requirements instituted by the auditing
profession in recent years, many long-standing audit procedures and
methods have changed. Risk-based audit standards give us a more
complete picture of your organization, including how you operate, the
risks you face, and how you are addressing those risks. The result is
an in-depth understanding of your entire operation and greater
assurance of the reliability of your financial statements.
My firm uses the latest in audit techniques to access
information, identify trends and make comparisons that are not possible
with manual methods. Efficiency and relevance are always top
priorities, allowing procedures to be completed quickly and with fewer
disruptions to your operations.
My audit services are limited to the nonprofit industry and includes the following:
- Testing your records and procedures so we can express an opinion on the fair presentation of your financial statements.
- Incorporating
technology that allows us to assist you in preparing integrated
financial statements and schedules in a timely manner.
- Analyzing
current financial information and comparing it with prior periods to
measure progress. This information can also be used to benchmark with
similar companies and gauge your competitive position. Comprehensive
management reports include insights and suggestions uncovered during
the engagement.
My firm is a member of the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants (AICPA) and as such, follows the best practices required by
national standards.
