Financial Statement Audit Procedures

A financial statement audit includes five distinct phases:

Planning & Preparation
Risk Assessment
Developing an audit Strategy
Gathering documentation
Finalization

Developing an Audit Strategy involves crafting a comprehensive plan tailored to the unique aspects and risks of your organization. This includes designing a meticulous audit plan covering all financial statements and assessing identified risks. Task assignment and timeline establishment follow, strategically allocating responsibilities and ensuring efficient audit processes. This strategic approach sets the groundwork for a successful audit, providing precise insights into your organization’s financial health and compliance.

Planning involves initial client discussions where we discuss all financial statement audit requirements and ensure you understand the difference between audit, review, or compilation. We complete any formal contracting, build your audit team, and establish the audit’s breadth.

Risk Assessment is the phase where our deep understanding of your industry, business, supply chain, and local business environment comes into play. Assessing risk involves judgment decisions based on numbers and environmental factors. Failing to adequately understand the risks could lead to misstatements that damage stakeholder trust.

Gathering Documentation is essential. Financial statement audit services must verify accuracy and generate stakeholder confidence. This phase involves testing internal controls, tracing numbers back, and ensuring you have supporting documentation. If something is missing, we work to obtain that third-party documentation from vendors, etc.

Finalization is when our CPA revisits the plan to ensure everything has been done. We review the results and use our professional judgment to state that this audit is concluded. The conclusion comes in the form of an audit opinion statement.
