Services:
Because it is a common service, an audit is sometimes viewed as a commodity to be acquired at the lowest price. Many entities have learned by sad experience that this is a dangerous practice. We believe, and have demonstrated repeatedly, that the annual audit should complement and enhance management, in addition to providing the desired assurances of a thorough, professional examination of the records.
Our firm structure and staff size enables us to provide more value by allowing professional staff to perform tasks that match their expertise level. We are constantly alert during our examination, and it is not uncommon for us to discover situations during the audit which result in savings to entities of thousands of dollars, often much greater than our fee. In addition to auditing financial results, we look at the overall performance and operations of the entity. We step back and review financial relationships and analyze expectations based on our knowledge of the client, the industry and our numerous years of experience. This analytical approach often reveals problems that may have been missed by simply performing “canned” audit procedures and checklists. We provide financial trend analysis of your local government during our audit presentation to the Council.
During our new audit engagements, we frequently find that some departments and transactions have been overlooked by prior auditors. We make a point to continue our thorough approach from year to year which enhances the awareness of the audit requirements and encourages department heads to follow policies and procedures. As such, you will receive added value from the audit.
