Attestation Services
Attestation Services
Attestation services are a crucial component of financial integrity and transparency for businesses. We offer comprehensive attestation services to ensure your financial statements meet the highest standards of accuracy and compliance. Our goal is to provide you with the confidence and assurance needed to make informed decisions and maintain the trust of your stakeholders.
In today’s business environment, maintaining accurate and reliable financial records is more important than ever. Whether your company is publicly traded, privately held or preparing for an initial public offering (IPO), having audited financial statements is often a requirement. These statements not only reflect the financial health of your organization but also play a critical role in securing funding, complying with regulatory requirements, and building trust with investors, creditors and other stakeholders.
What Are Attestation Services?
Attestation services involve the evaluation and review of a company’s financial information by an independent Certified Public Accountant (CPA). The CPA provides an opinion on whether the financial statements are presented fairly and in accordance with the applicable financial reporting framework. These services are essential for validating the accuracy and reliability of financial reports and include various levels of assurance, such as audits, reviews and compilations.
Types of Attestation Services
- Audits
- The most comprehensive type of attestation service.
- Provides the highest level of assurance on financial statements.
- Involves a thorough examination of financial records, internal controls and supporting documentation.
- Results in an auditor’s report expressing an opinion on the fairness of the financial statements.
- Reviews
- Less intensive than an audit but still provides a moderate level of assurance.
- Involves inquiries and analytical procedures to provide a limited assurance that no material modifications are needed for the financial statements.
- Ideal for companies that do not require a full audit but still need some level of assurance.
- Compilations
- The most basic level of attestation service.
- Involves compiling financial data provided by the company into financial statements without providing any assurance.
- Suitable for internal use or for companies not required to have audited or reviewed financial statements.
