An independent CPA audit provides reasonable assurance that financial statements are presented fairly in accordance with applicable accounting standards. Audits are often required by lenders, investors, regulators, grantors, and governing boards.
Common items include financial statements, bank reconciliations, supporting schedules, invoices, contracts, payroll records, debt agreements, and prior year reports.
Maintaining organized accounting records, reconciling accounts timely, and communicating significant transactions early can help make the process more efficient.
At the conclusion of the engagement, the CPA firm issues an independent auditor’s report and may provide recommendations to help strengthen processes and financial reporting.
A review engagement provides limited assurance through analytical procedures and inquiries performed by an independent CPA. Reviews are commonly requested by banks and external stakeholders.
A review is narrower in scope than an audit and does not include detailed testing of transactions or internal controls. As a result, reviews generally require less time and cost than audits.
Reviews are often suitable for privately owned businesses that need CPA-issued financial statements for lending, bonding, or ownership reporting purposes.
