How it works

What to expect

  1. Plan

    We learn about your organization, reporting requirements, operations, systems, and key financial-statement risks. We then establish the engagement timeline and coordinate responsibilities with your team.

  2. Prepare

    You receive a clear request list outlining the schedules and supporting documents needed. We communicate early about deadlines, open questions, and potentially complex accounting matters.

  3. Fieldwork

    Our team performs the required procedures, maintains regular communication, and works to resolve questions efficiently while minimizing disruption to your organization.

  4. Report

    We complete the applicable CPA report, discuss the results with management or the board, and communicate relevant internal-control or financial-reporting recommendations.

Audit and Attestation Services

Audit Support for Your Business

An overview of the audit and attestation services we provide to help organizations strengthen financial reporting, meet requirements, and make informed decisions.

  • Financial Statement Audits

    Our independent financial statement audits provide reasonable assurance that an organization’s financial statements are presented fairly under the applicable reporting framework. We assess risk, evaluate relevant internal controls, test financial information, and issue an independent auditor’s report.

  • Financial Statement Reviews

    A financial statement review provides limited assurance through analytical procedures and inquiries. Reviews may be appropriate when a lender, bonding company, investor, or other stakeholder needs CPA-issued financial statements but does not require a full audit.

  • Nonprofit Audits

    Our nonprofit audit services help charitable organizations, associations, foundations, and other mission-driven entities meet grant, lender, board, and regulatory reporting requirements. We understand nonprofit financial reporting, contribution revenue, donor restrictions, grants, and governance considerations.

  • Employee Benefit Plan Audits

    We conduct independent audits of eligible employee benefit plans, including 401(k) plans, to support Department of Labor reporting requirements. Our team coordinates with plan sponsors, administrators, custodians, and other service providers to keep the engagement moving efficiently.

  • Agreed-Upon Procedures

    Agreed-upon procedures engagements allow specified parties to select particular procedures for our team to perform. We report factual findings without providing an audit opinion or assurance conclusion.

  • Internal Control Recommendations

    During an audit, we may identify opportunities to strengthen accounting procedures, documentation, segregation of duties, and financial oversight. We communicate relevant findings and practical recommendations to management and those charged with governance.

We have been a Stancil client for many years. Providing tax and accounting services to us personally and during the 11 years of operating our business. Their guidance and advice has been top notch and professional in every sense of the word. Without question, the counseling they provided during the sale of our business while transitioning to personal based services made our lives easier during a stressful period.
