Financial Statements Audits and Reviews

A financial statement audit provides management, those charged with governance, and other financial statement users with an independent CPA's opinion about whether the financial statements present fairly the entity's financial position and reported changes.  An audit is the highest level of assurance an independent auditor can provide.  An audit typically is appropriate, and often required, when a client is seeking complex or high levels of financing and credit.   

A financial statement review provides limited assurance to the users of financial statements.  The CPA performs analytical procedures, inquiries and other procedures deemed necessary to obtain “limited assurance” on the financial statements and is intended to provide a user with a lower level of comfort on their accuracy. The review is the base level of CPA assurance services.

Private Company Audits and Reviews

Most businesses are established to create value for expansion or sale.   Adequate operations and reporting are essential for entrepreneurs and investors to yield returns. Obtaining a competent auditor challenges the company to hold itself accountable to these goals.   Using auditors that are sincere and knowledgeable prepares companies for any level of expansion, such as, accommodating growth in sales or capital, being a merger, acquisition target, or becoming listed on a national stock exchange.  Getting loans and investors are made easier with reliable accounting records and financial reports. The more functional and accountable your business, the more valuable it is to potential investors.

Crowdfunding Reporting Requirements 

Under the JOBS act, many companies are raising capital through crowdfunding portals, by which small amounts of money is raised from many people often through the internet. This process now could require either audited or reviewed financial statements by a qualified CPA firm.
