Audits help a business owner gain confidence in their financial operations while ensuring risk is mitigated. Based on the level of need, audits, reviews and compilations help businesses demonstrate to ownership, investors and lenders the security and strength of their finances. Depending on the level of assurance needed, each have their use. Lenders and banks most often require fully audited financial statements. At times, a review or compilation can suffice.
Brady Ware’s team provides clients with trusted, objective audit and assurances services and delivers based on how in-depth the need is to examine controls, financial data, management input, investor/lender requirements and more.
Providing the highest level of assurance, this is a full examination of controls, procedures, financial records and more most often needed by lenders and investors. Determinations are made as to whether the financial information of a company is accurately reported and affirms the company’s financial position. It is critical and comprehensive.
Our audits are performed in compliance with the requirements for Generally Accepted Auditing Standards (GAAS), Government Auditing Standards (GAGAS), and provisions of the Uniform Guidance (single audits). We provide audit services for privately held companies, nonprofit organizations, and state and local governments.
At times, a more limited assessment of a company’s finances is needed. With limited assurance through a reduced scope than a full audit provides, a review still evaluates your financial position through some examination of a company’s financial data and procedures. This does help companies understand their position and gain some degree of assurance. We adhere to generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and generally accepted auditing standards (GAAS) for financial statement reviews.
A compilation does not include any examination of financial data or internal controls and, thus, no assurance or opinion given. A company’s financial statement is reviewed but it is not measured against indicators within the financial data. This can still be useful for businesses with simple accounting processes and situations. We adhere to generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and generally accepted auditing standards (GAAS) for financial statement compilations.
