AUDIT, REVIEW, AND COMPILATION ENGAGEMENTS
Audits High-quality audited financial statements are critical to satisfy the requirements of lenders, investors, and other stakeholders. Brinker Simpson’s audit professionals possess deep knowledge from their experience serving diversified industries and complexities.
The first step is key; working with you to understand your business and its risks, then customizing our audit approach to focus on the company and its environment. The outcome is an audit that uncovers deep insights for more strategic decision-making through the effective use of advanced data analytics and business applications.
In performing an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, we:
Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances but not to express an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements.
Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events considered in the aggregate that raise substantial doubt about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.
Review Engagements Our financial statement review process is less extensive than an audit. A review engagement includes primarily applying analytical procedures to management’s financial data and making inquiries of company management. Our method of using analytics to the company’s current and historical data against industry information, combined with our ability to ask the right questions, results in valuable information for our clients. In addition, we help our clients understand their business to better evaluate their overall operations.
Compilation Engagements A compiled financial statement provides the lowest level of assurance. Our service is based on obtaining general knowledge of the organization and preparing your financial information, as management is responsible for the financial statements. The compilation engagement is performed in accordance with Statements of Standards for Accounting and Review Services promulgated by the Accounting and Review Services Committee of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA).
