| Auditing |
|
Auditing is one of the most important services provided by our firm. This is an attest function,
the only one requiring practitioners to be Certified Public Accountants. Our CPAs examine financial records,
transactions and procedures to ensure that an organization’s financial statements properly reflect its position
as of the date of the audit.
|
| Audit Report Importance |
An audit performed by an independent CPA is suggested for many reasons. Most importantly, an audit report is an
excellent management tool which provides current, tested information for proactive decision-making.
Experienced Cowart, Sargent & Webb professionals provide guidance and advice, using the audit report
to the best, most profitable advantage.
More than any other document, the audited financial statements reveal a reliable financial
picture of a business. When our firm completes an audit, we attest to the information presented.
Our professional reputation is staked on every report, so your business and bankers,
creditors, grantors, and investors can depend on our work.
|
| Compilation and Review |
Compilation and review are additional levels of service provided by Cowart, Sargent & Webb for
businesses and organizations that do not need audited financial statements.
A review applies inquiry and analytical procedures to management-furnished data. It provides
limited assurance and is designed to see whether the financial statements "make sense"
without applying audit-type tests to management’s representations. A compilation is a
professional "second look" without the performance of any audit or review procedures.
