Audit Preparation

At times, outside parties such as creditors, federal and state tax agencies and investors may need assurance that your financial statements accurately represent the true financial position of your organization/business; therefore, an audit or review of your financial statements be requested.

RGK Accountancy, P.C. understands how an audit and review engagements can be intimidating and sometimes costly whether they are first time or recurring engagements.  We know auditors are required to adhere to all relevant independence standards when conducting an audit or review engagements. The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) and the United States Department of Labor (DOL) all have rules regarding the auditor’s independence. The AICPA rules apply to those auditors who are members of the AICPA. The DOL rules apply to all employee benefit plan auditors. Therefore, auditors are required to be independent both in fact and in appearance.

When you engage a CPA firm to perform an audit or review services, RGK Accountancy, P.C. can assist you by:
