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
three levels of assurance to meet your needs.
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.
Which Report Should You Use?
Each type of financial statement report may suit specific circumstances, depending on requirements from your
client's bank or other parties, as well as meet budgetary needs.
Understanding each report's unique strengths and weaknesses can help you choose the most appropriate one. Please call if you have questions about which type of report is right for you.
