Assurance Services in Fairfield County, CT

Audit

An audit requires an independent examination and testing of accounting records, obtaining an understanding of your controls, procedures, and management practices. Tests may include written confirmation with outside parties, observation of inventories, and the testing of selected transactions by examining supporting documents. Audited financial statements provide reasonable assurance that the financial statements are not materially misstated. The financial statements include an independent opinion.

Review

A review requires performing analytical procedures on your financial information and management inquiries. A review provides limited assurance that no material changes need to be made to the financial statements.

Compilation

A compilation requires preparing the financial statements with information provided by management. Companies in New Canaan, CT that need help preparing their financial statements find compilations quite useful when providing financial information to third parties. A compilation does not provide any assurance as to the reasonableness of the financial information.

Agreed-Upon Procedures (AUP)

An agreed-upon procedures (AUP) engagement is an attestation engagement where the client and a third party agree to have an auditor perform specific procedures that the parties agree upon in advance. The auditor does not provide an opinion, which is one aspect that differentiates it from an audit. The auditor only reports the factual findings based on the results of performing the agreed-upon procedures, allowing the parties to draw their own conclusions on the subject matter.

AUP engagements may focus on specific financial or non-financial data. A few examples include performing procedures on numeric information, debt agreements, internal controls and leases and royalty agreements.

An AUP engagement can be a good solution when a third party needs to obtain comfort over the numeric information, compliance with agreements and internal controls.

Consult with our experienced auditors at Reynolds + Rowella to assist you with designing appropriate procedures and to determine if an AUP engagement is the right solution for you and your New Canaan, CT business
