Assurance + Accounting
Stockholders, creditors, and private investors often require assurance that your financial statements accurately represent your company. Our focus is to deliver relevant, timely, and cost-effective assurance and accounting services. We provide meaningful recommendations for the improvement of operations and the strengthening of internal controls.
Our team has provided a seamless audit process for 65 years.
Audits
-
An audit provides the highest level of assurance.
-
It is an informed opinion and objective examination of the financial statements, including the authentication of specific information as determined by the auditor or as established by general practice.
-
These recommendations often generate savings and enhance profitability.
-
Our work includes a review of internal controls, testing of selected transactions, and communication with third parties.
-
Based on our findings, we issue a report on whether the financial statements are accurate.
Compilations
-
In accordance with the Accounting and Review Services Committee of the AICPA, Berman Hopkins performs compilations of financial information.
-
These do not require inquiries of management or analytical procedures.
-
Instead, we rely on our knowledge of accounting principles and a general understanding of your business.
-
In a compilation engagement, we will present the information obtained from management in the proper financial reporting framework.
-
However, we will express no opinion or assurance to the accuracy of the information.
Reviews
-
