Assurance

Provide Audit Reports on the reliability of financial and non-financial information, business processes and controls, regulatory compliance used in strategic transactions on a timely basis. We continuously update our knowledge of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. This 2002 legislation is changing the face of audit services provided by independent accountants to public companies.

Certified public accountants can perform audit services and issue audit reports, however, many are not aware of the alternatives to the audit. The two other levels of service, compilations and reviews, add credibility and enhance the reliability of the client’s company’s financial statements, as well. Our clients choose the level of involvement that is required based on the company’s particular circumstances. With varying time, effort, and expense, HLB Gravier can audit a client’s company and issue a professional opinion on your financial statements, or can issue a quick financial report with minimal corresponding assurance in the form of a compilation or review.

At HLB Gravier, determining the right level of service requires ascertaining our client’s real need for the financial statement, and having a clear understanding of the situation in order to use resources appropriately and efficiently. We will gladly discuss your needs with you and the user of the financial statements to decide which service is best for you.
