Assurance and Attestation Services

Assurance and attest services mainly consist of the following:

  • Financial statement audits
  • Employee Benefit plan audits (commonly referred to as “401(k) audits”)
  • Service Organization Controls audits (commonly known as “SOC 1 audits”)
  • Reviews
  • Compilation
  • Agreed-upon procedures

Audits

Audits provide the highest level of assurance. They consist of detailed testing and verification of certain areas directly with third parties. Audits involve gaining a deep understanding of the companies through open communication with management and other members and through review of the companies processes and controls.

The result is a high quality set of financial statements with an independent opinion and assurance regarding the reliability and integrity of the financial statements.

Audits of Employee Benefit Plans

Audit of employee benefit plans (EBP) required specialized knowledge and skill. We are well experienced and trained at auditing plans with 100 participants to thousands of participants. Our firm is a member of the AICPA Employee Benefit Plan Audit Quality Center and strives to meet high quality standards established by it.

Reviews

Reviews provide limited assurance. Reviews are less extensive than audits, but more involved than compilations. Review engagements consist primarily of analytical procedures and various inquiries of companies’ management.

The result of a review is a report that expresses limited assurance in the form of the statement which indicates that we are not aware of any material modifications for the financial statements to be in conformity with the generally accepted accounting principles.

Compilations

Compilations provide the lowest level of assurance. Compiled financial statements present information that is the representation of management. The accountant’s report on the compiled financial statements expresses no opinion or assurance on the statements.

Agreed-upon Procedures

If you wish to ascertain that a contract was performed in accordance with its provisions, or perhaps you wish to do an in-depth review of a certain area of your financial statements such as accounts receivable, revenues or expenses, then we can provide agreed-upon procedures services. Broadly speaking, we can perform procedures on any subject you would like to have in-depth analysis or examination on.

An agreed-upon procedures engagement is an engagement to perform those procedures you request, and we report on factual findings. Our report to you will contain a list of the procedures performed with the findings.

System and Organization Controls (SOC 1) Report

If your company provides services to its client such as processing of payroll, collection services, recordkeeping or trust services, then it is likely that your clients will need a SOC 1 report on your organization. SOC 1 audits are specialized engagements to examine the processes and controls identified by management relevant to the services provided.

The result is a report that expresses an opinion about the fair presentation of the system description and implementation, the suitability of the control objectives and the effectiveness of the controls tested relevant to control objectives.
