Atlantic Blue Advisors offer three types of CPA certified financial statements:
Audits
An audit is the highest level of assurance service that a CPA performs. The CPA is required to be independent, obtain an understanding of your internal control, and assess fraud risk. This is done through inquiry, inspection, observation, third-party confirmations, examination, analytical procedures, and other procedures in accordance with Generally Accepted Auditing Standards (GAAS). The CPA will issue a formal report that expresses an opinion on whether the financial statements are presented fairly, in all material aspects, in accordance with the applicable financial reporting framework.
Reviews
A review is more involved than a compilation and is intended to provide a user with a level of comfort on their accuracy. At this level of service, the CPA performs analytical procedures, inquiries, and other procedures to obtain “limited assurance” on the financial statements. The CPA is required to be independent when performing a review. The CPA will issue a formal report that includes a conclusion as to whether, based on the review, the CPA is aware of any material modifications that should be made to the financial statements in order for them to be in accordance with the applicable financial reporting framework.
Compilations
At this level of service, the CPA is required to read the financial statements in light of the financial reporting framework being used and consider whether the financial statements appear appropriate in form and are free from obvious material misstatements. The CPA does not obtain any assurance for a compilation because the CPA is not required to verify the accuracy or completeness of the information provided.
Additional CPA services we offer:
Agreed-Upon Procedures Engagements
An agreed-upon procedures engagement is an attestation engagement in which the CPA performs specific procedures on subject matter and reports the findings without providing an opinion or conclusion. The CPA must be independent. An example of an agreed-upon procedures is the review of internal controls. Agreed-upon procedures can be useful for companies or organizations that need a report of findings on specific matters, but do not require a financial statement audit where formal opinions or conclusions are drawn.
Fraud Prevention and Detection
With fraud ever evolving, and on the rise, organizations rely upon Certified Fraud Examiners (CFEs) to help safeguard their business from fraud’s devastating impact.
Our services include:
- Internal control reviews
- Reviewing statements and records for evidence of suspected fraud
- Policy and procedure assistance
- Fraud risk assessments
- Fraudulent financial transactions analysis
- Forensic accounting
