Not Just Audit Reports

Most business owners know that certified public accountants can perform audit services and issue an audit report on a company’s financial statements. However, there are two other levels of service for unaudited financial statements – reviews and compilations. The purpose of these engagements is to add credibility to and enhance the reliability of the company’s unaudited financial statements by performing procedures that are more limited in scope than an audit.

Employee Benefit Plan Audits

The audit and assurance team at McClanathan, Burg & Associates, LLC (MBA) also performs quality audits in the unique and multi-faceted employee benefit plan industry. We understand the complex regulatory environment of employee benefit plans due to the requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) as administered by the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL). Services offered in this area include full-scope and limited-scope audits of both defined contribution plans and defined benefit plans.

Agreed-Upon Procedures

An agreed-upon procedures engagement (AUP) is a customized engagement to perform specific procedures and report the findings, which enhances the credibility of the information. Many companies choose to undergo an AUP engagement when purchasing or selling a business, or to test a series of transactions. Such an engagement is less extensive in scope than an audit, as it is specifically directed only to the information that is the subject matter of the AUP engagement.

Services Personalized for Your Needs

MBA recommends the level of assurance service personalized to meet the needs of your business, while maintaining the highest degree of professionalism at every level.
