Stockholders, creditors, and private investors often need assurance that the
financial statements accurately represent the true financial position of a company.
Your stockholders, creditors, or private investors have different levels of risk tolerance, so we provide a simple level of assurance.
Compilation - Lowest Level of Assurance
In compiling financial statements for a client, we present information that is the "representation
of management" and expresses no opinion or assurance on the statements. Compilations don't require inquiries
of management or analytical procedures. Instead, we rely on our knowledge of accounting principles and a general
understanding of your business.
Banks often require compilations from an independent CPA as part of their lending covenants. In addition it is at time required by Homeowners' Associations.
