Assurance Services
Financial Statement Audits
Our approach to audits focuses on risks. An audit provides the highest level of assurance and we allocate more of our time to the planning phase of the audit and understanding our client’s business. At Braver, we take pride in our ability to be responsive and accessible throughout the audit process. Our clients like the fact that we take the time to understand their operations and focus our efforts on the areas that matter, keeping the process efficient.
Financial Statement Reviews
When financial statement users need some level of assurance but do not require an audit, a Review engagement is often most appropriate. At Braver, we employ the same thoughtful approach for financial statement reviews as we do for other services. Efficiency and cost-effectiveness are always key components of every review engagement.
SAS 70 Audits
The top service organizations have recognized that one of the most important things they can do for long-term success is keep customers and partners confident that they have strong internal controls. An examination performed by independent auditors in accordance with SAS 70 typically indicates the service organization’s control objectives and related control activities are effective and can often mean the difference in securing key customers and differentiating from the competition.
Forensic Accounting
Fraud in business is one of the unfortunate truths within almost any economy. Often fraud is committed by individuals who have been placed in a position of trust. Whether it’s fraud prevention, or assistance in determining what misappropriation of company assets or fraudulent financial reporting may have happened, we can help. Our team of forensic accountants has years of experience in a variety of situations and we come in ready to assess your needs and get to work.
Internal Controls Assessments and Consultation
One of the realities of privately held businesses is that organizations need to make some important decisions in the area of internal controls. Resources are limited and companies have to accept tradeoffs in the types in internal controls that they select. Braver’s experience in a variety of industries puts us in a unique position to incorporate best practices as we help our non-attest clients design and implement internal controls.
