Audit
Audits are performed to provide an objective independent examination of financial statements. An audit includes substantive testing and other procedures in order to verify that financial statements are free of material misstatements. Financial Statement audits confirm the credibility of information provided by management which then increases user confidence and reduces lender and investor risk. Other benefits include strengthening internal and accounting controls as well as overall business practices. Audits are the highest level of assurance.
Review
Reviews simply provide limited assurance of your company’s financial statements. A review includes inquiries and analytical procedures in order to verify limited assurance, but no substantive testing of the financial statements. This analysis is beneficial when an organization needs some assurance, but not the higher level assurance of an audit.
Compilation
Compilations do not include an examination of account balances or provide an opinion on the financial statements. Your financial data is used to prepare financial statements that comply with GAAP. Additional accounting needs can also be addressed.
Agreed Upon Procedures
No matter how specific your need, HM&M can assist you with your Agreed Upon Procedures. In this type of engagement, procedures are customized to your needs.
Some examples of these engagements are:
• Due Diligence/Acquisitions
• Prove or Disprove Fraud
• Vote Counts
• Verify Existence of Assets
