I add value to financial statements by providing Assurance Services
that
add credibility to financial information.
Financial statements are the responsibility of the business owner.
Our responsibility as licensed public accountants is to report on financial
statements with varying levels of assurance about the information
contained in them, and ensure they meet Canadian or international
financial reporting standards.
So I help business owners and professionals prepare financial
statements
with reports appropriate to their circumstances.

I can prepare financial statements and include a limited assurance
Notice to Reader with them, or I can do sufficient enquiry, analytical
review and discussion to ensure they are according to generally accepted
Canadian accounting principles (GAAP) and plausible given the
circumstances. These additional Review Engagement procedures make
reviewed statements more useful to owners and lenders.
An Audit is normally imposed by regulation, such as incorporation acts,
securities regulations, tax law, and various other authorities, though
they may prove useful strategically. I can also help prepare cash flow
projections and forecasts and budgets, or officially report on them via
special engagements that involve ensuring they meet set standards of
disclosure. |
