External Audit & Assurance Services
Comprehensive financial reports are powerful tools for managing a business. Along with the traditional benefits of professionally prepared statements, our team can use this information to help our clients develop Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), financial projections, and lender/investor relationships.
With our expertise in assurance services and financial reporting, we can provide and interpret vital information to better facilitate the ongoing management of our clients’ businesses. As an external Audit Department, we can provide guidance to address concerns with accounting accuracy, internal controls, and regulatory compliance.
We offer constructive suggestions to help management improve procedures and documentation to produce more efficient, ethical, and presentable financial statements.
Specialized CPA Audit & Assurance Practice
At Wright Ford Young, we understand that we live in the age of specialization, so to best serve our clients, we have chosen to focus our assurance services and audit practice on selected industry sectors where our professionals have the most relevant experience. Our specializations set us apart, but our approach makes us unique.
Our approach includes a higher degree of partner and manager involvement, the use of internally developed IT resources to extract and manage data, and the use of significant industry data. Our approach is also proactive.
Our business services include:
- Audited, Reviewed, and Compiled Financial Statements
- Forecasts and Projections
- Internal Control Evaluations
- Benchmarking Studies
In addition to providing audit & assurance services to business entities, we also have one of the largest employee benefit plan audit practices in California. We are one of only 122 CPA firms in the country that audit more than 100 employee benefit plans annually. As a result, we are subject to bi-annual inspections from the Department of Labor. We completed our most recent Department of Labor inspection with a passing mark.
Further, because our employee benefit plan audit practice is an integral part of our accounting firm services, it is subject to our firm’s peer review inspection. We also completed our most recent peer review inspection with a clean opinion. Additionally, we are members of the AICPA Employee Benefit Plan Audit Quality Center and are a PCAOB registered firm. We are in good standing with the California Society of CPA’s and all audit partners and managers hold active licenses.
