Frequently Asked Questions
What is a financial statement audit?

Audits provide confidence to lenders, boards, regulators, and other stakeholders who rely on financial information.When is an audit required?
Most audits are required by lenders, regulators, or governing bodies on an annual basis. They are commonly needed for nonprofits, employee benefit plans, and certain growing businesses, and may also be requested as part of financing or ownership changes.What’s the difference between an audit, a review, and a compilation?
An audit provides the highest level of assurance and includes detailed testing and analysis. A review offers limited assurance using analytical procedures and inquiry. A compilation presents financial information without providing assurance. The appropriate option depends on stakeholder requirements.How do audits help identify risk?
