Compilation

The lowest level of assurance, the objective of a compilation is to assist management in presenting financial statements without undertaking to provide assurance that there are no material modifications that should be made to conform to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States. Because of this limited scope, the CPA’s report will not express an opinion or provide assurance regarding the financial statements.

Review

A review is the middle level of assurance; its objective is to obtain limited assurance there are no material modifications that should be made to the financial statements for them to be in conformity with GAAP. Inquiries should be directed to management having responsibility for the financial and accounting matters of the company. Our CPAs will exercise their professional judgment to determine the extent of questioning needed. Although each review is personalized to each client’s needs, a review at minimum will look at the accounting practices used by the organization, the procedures for recording and storing financial information, and the actions taken at stockholder or board meetings. Reviewed financial statements must include all required footnotes and other disclosures.

Audit

An audit is the highest level of assurance available from independent CPAs. Some of the procedures required by an audit include confirming bank balances, reviewing and verifying bank reconciliations, verification of checks, and an assessment of internal control. Through all of this assessment of financials and discussion with management, the purpose of an audit is to prove that a company’s financial reports are substantively correct. An added bonus of auditing is the CPA may become aware of weaknesses in internal controls or organizational systems and offer suggestions for improvement. Based on our findings, we will then issue a report on whether the financial statements present fairly in all material respects and in conformity with GAAP. Audited financial statements will also include a statement of changes in financial statements and detailed and referenced footnotes detailing the company’s accounting methods, policies, and certain financial data.
