The financial statement audit has never been more important. In today’s business environment there is more scrutiny and skepticism of a company’s financial statements than ever before. Investors expect more: greater reliability, more oversight and clear evidence of internal controls. Corporate management, boards and audit committees, internal and external auditors, analysts and other investment professionals all have important roles to play in rebuilding investor trust by executing their respective responsibilities, keeping in mind both legal obligations and the heightened expectations of investors. Meeting investor expectations begins with the completeness and accuracy of information contained in a company’s financial statements.
A well-conducted audit can provide business owners with valuable information and assurance that statements are fairly presented. At SGA we view the audit process as an opportunity for our clients to learn more about their businesses so they are better equipped to communicate with banks, investors and partners.
