Audit & Assurance Services

Businesses benefit from quality and timely audit and assurance services for a range of reasons. Many lenders review financial statements to issue a loan and as part of ongoing covenants. Contractors often need to meet certain requirements in order to maintain their business licenses. Upon reaching a revenue amount or for investor confidence, audits can become an obligation. Nearly always, business owners find that financial statements help them to keep tabs on trends in their business and make more informed decisions. Whatever your reason, BGC can help.

“I enjoy working with business owners to give them a clean look at their company that they haven't necessarily had before.”

- James Starks, A&A Partner

Why Choose BGC?

BGC’s Audit and Assurance team is just that; a team. We work collaboratively and collegially. Everyone pitches in to help so the work gets done and clients get what they need, when they need it. Clients experience this in our people-centered approach that relies on technology for efficiency, not panache. Our Audit Dashboard keeps everyone organized so our conversations can focus on what’s next instead of what documents are needed.

Services

Audit Expand

In an audit, the highest level of assurance, BGC’s CPAs attest to the integrity of the numbers on the financial statements. This process is tailored to each client’s needs, which may or may not include inventory controls. Audits may be required for companies above a threshold of size, by investors or lenders.

Review Expand

A review includes a limited level of assurance of the integrity of the underlying values in a financial statement. This level of assurance is the most popular among business owners, and is commonly required by banks, grantors, investors, or chosen by owners.

Compilation Expand

Compilations provide business owners with no level of assurance but are helpful to ensure books are in order at least once a year. Accurate financial statements enable business owners to get a better sense of the trends in their business and measure KPIs to make better business decisions.

Employee Benefit Plan Audit Expand

An audit of an employee benefit plan is required once a plan reaches a certain number of participants, roughly 100 depending on certain factors. It’s important to select a firm that has a cadre of benefit plans as the reporting documents, Form 5500, are highly monitored by the DOL and IRS.

Agreed upon procedures Expand

This catch-all phrase is meant to encompass the myriad of ways that our assurance team can help companies with project work to meet their needs. Such services may focus on helping a company grow through performance benchmarking, the implementation of new accounting standards, or forecasts and projections. Alternatively, it may include risk advisory such as going into a company’s environment to help document what their controls are for an internal controls review.
