AUDIT, REVIEWS AND COMPILATIONS The audit department adheres to the firm’s simple philosophy of “Know Your Client.” The success of the audit department has been in understanding the operations of the client, whether a real estate developer, a school or a not-for-profit organization. The firms audit practice has been subjected to the AICPA’s mandatory Peer Review every 3 years and has received unqualified (clean) opinions on all occasions. The firm also provides other assurance services such as compliance auditing, reviews, compilations and agreed-upon procedures. We believe that Communication between the client and the auditor is the most important part of any audit. Accordingly, at the inception of the audit and during the audit, our partners meet with the client to discuss all pertinent matters. At the completion of the audit, the partner in charge of the audit will make a presentation to the Board of Directors or Owners to explain the results. Our goal is to inform you of our findings and improve your operations. Areas of specialization include, among others:
