TAX SERVICES

Audit, Reviews, and Compilations

We provide financial reporting on all three levels of assurance:

AUDITS

We design our audits to provide reasonable assurance that the financial statements are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In addition, we use our knowledge and experience in your industry to gain an understanding of internal control and to assess the operating effectiveness of those controls. We use our risk assessment to plan the audit and make recommendations intended to improve the internal control or result in other operating efficiencies. We will also evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management. We have experience in providing audit services in the following fields:

Non-Profits, including OPWDD, OMH, HUD and OASAS funded Organizations
Fire Districts
Fire District LOSAP'S
Fire Companies
School Districts
Local Development Corps
Nursery and Pre Schools
Membership Organizations and Associations
Foundations

REVIEWS
We review financial statements in accordance with Statements on Standards forAccounting and Review Services issued by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. Review services as dictated by professional standards are substantially less in scope than an audit and consist principally of inquiries and analytical procedures. We have experience proving review services to both the non-profit and for-profit sectors.

COMPILATIONS

Our compilations are the representation of management and are not audited or reviewed by our firm.
