Financial Reporting becomes critical where compliance is a factor in the business. It is an area of growing importance for almost all companies in light of the recent financial meltdown. Lenders are placing more stringent requirements on borrowers and company officers are being held to account for representations of the business. We are experience in setting up financial reports that comply with GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles):
- Private Equity, Venture Capital, and Individual investors are often most concerned with understanding trends, cash flow and performance in terms of EBITDA (Earning Before Interest Tax, Depreciation and Amortization), as well as ratio analysis calculations that evaluate the adherence to lending covenant requirements.
- Statutory Reporting requirements are commonly required by banks, lending institutions, or listed holding companies. In terms of GAAP, there are 3 types of endorsements or reviews for a set of financial statements:
- Audit is the most thorough investigation of a set of company financial statements whereby a Certified CPA will verify, based on a detailed and planned investigation, that the financial statements fairly and accurately represent the financial affairs of the company. Based on the Auditors report, stakeholders of the company would be more inclined to lend and transact with the company.
- Review is less stringent than an audit in that the CPA firm will use analytical procedures to verify the reasonableness of the financial statements.
- Compilation is a set of company financials that is presented in a format consistent with GAAP. No opinion or assurance is expressed on this financial data.
