FAQs
What are audit and assurance services?
Audit and assurance services examine financial information, reporting procedures, and supporting records to assess their accuracy, reliability, and compliance with applicable standards. These services can improve transparency, identify financial or operational risks, strengthen internal controls, and increase confidence among lenders, investors, owners, and other stakeholders.
What is the difference between an audit, review, and compilation?
An audit provides the highest level of assurance and involves detailed testing and verification. A review provides limited assurance through analytical procedures and inquiries. A compilation organizes financial information into statement format but generally provides no assurance regarding the accuracy of the underlying information.
Why might a business need a financial statement audit?
A business may require an audit because of lender conditions, investor requests, ownership agreements, regulatory requirements, nonprofit obligations, acquisition activity, or internal governance needs. An audit can also help management identify control weaknesses and improve the reliability of financial reporting.
How should a business prepare for an audit?
Businesses should organize financial statements, bank records, reconciliations, invoices, contracts, payroll information, tax filings, policies, and supporting schedules before the audit begins. Assigning an internal contact and responding promptly to information requests can make the process more efficient and reduce unnecessary delays.
Can an audit help identify fraud or financial risks?
An audit is not a guarantee that every instance of fraud will be discovered. However, audit procedures can identify unusual transactions, reporting inconsistencies, control weaknesses, compliance concerns, and risk areas requiring further investigation. Strong internal controls remain an important part of fraud prevention.
Do small businesses need audit and assurance services?
Not every small business requires a full audit. However, reviews, compilations, internal control assessments, and audit preparation services may be valuable when seeking financing, bringing in investors, selling the business, meeting contractual requirements, or improving the credibility of financial reports.
