We can learn more about your business, and hopefully help you to better assess your needs.
Audit
An audit is the highest level of attest service. The objective of an audit is the expression of an opinion about whether your financial statements are fairly presented, in all material respects, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). It is conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards (GAAS), which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
Review
A review is the next level of attestation service. It is conducted in accordance with Statements of Standards for Accounting and Review Services (SSARS) issued by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), and consists principally of inquiries of Company personnel and applying analytical procedures to financial data. It is substantially less in scope than an audit, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole.
Compilation
A compilation is the lowest level of attestation. Compilation is conducted in accordance with SSARS issued by the AICPA. A compilation is limited to presenting in the form of financial statements information that is the representation of management.
