Our audit,
accounting and attestation services are generally
one of two types: reporting engagement or accounting assistance. An
overall engagement could have elements of each type depending on your
needs. Each type has a different focus.
Reporting
engagements:
Audit and accounting reporting engagements entail a broad range of services in which
some level of assurance is generally expressed
(through the issuance of a report) on a document or an
assertion made by your organization's management. The level of assurance expressed, if any, depends on the nature of the engagement.
Assurance levels can range from expression of an opinion (as in an
audit) to no assurance (as in a compilation.) Limited assurance, negative
assurance and agreed-upon procedures are other forms of assurance that
can be expressed. The end-product of a reporting engagement is written
report issued by the CPA firm.
Accounting assistance engagements:
Depending on the nature of the engagement, these services could be
performed in conjunction with a reporting engagement or as a stand-alone service.
In an accounting assistance engagement, we assist you with accounting
procedures that are typically associated with an entity's normal
accounting function. In other words, procedures or tasks required in order to record, value, or summarize accounting balances and transactions and to present this information in financial statement form with appropriate information for the notes to the financial statements.
