Communication is a key component of our audit process. We provide detailed pre-planning meetings and engagement checklists to help you be as prepared as possible and to minimize staff disruption during the audit process. We believe a scheduled audit should begin and finish on time unless items surface during an engagement. As an auditor, we do not like surprises. As a client, we know you expect the same. Accordingly, we encourage proactive communications throughout the course of the engagement.
We provide management assurance projects. The majority of audit services are driven by banks, regulatory groups or government agencies to ensure their investments are safe. An overlooked method that can yield productivity gains is the use of agreed upon procedures. These can be short, quick engagements to examine select aspects, such as shortages in inventories, cash handling, employee compliance with policies, or significant movement in account balances. These engagements enable employees to be more diligent about following policies, deter employees from committing fraud and provide opportunities to eliminate unnecessary processes that may have evolved.
