ASSURANCE SERVICES
Independent Financial Statement Assurance You Can Trust
Stakeholders—including lenders, investors, boards, and regulators—often require independent verification of your financial statements. Boulder CPAs provides a full range of assurance services tailored to your needs.
Financial Statement Audits
An audit provides the highest level of assurance that your financial statements are free from material misstatement and comply with GAAP.
When You Need an Audit:
- Bank loan covenants
- Bond indenture requirements
- Investor or private equity requirements
- Government contract requirements
- Nonprofit funding requirements
- Board of directors requirements
Reviews & Compilations
Review Engagements:
A review provides limited assurance through analytical procedures and inquiries—less extensive than an audit, but more rigorous than a compilation.
Compilation Engagements:
A compilation presents your financial information in statement format without providing assurance. Appropriate when no third-party assurance is required.
Agreed-Upon Procedures
When you need targeted assurance on specific accounts, processes, or compliance areas, agreed-upon procedures (AUP) let you define exactly what gets examined.
Common AUP Applications:
- Contract compliance verification
- Royalty audits
- Grant compliance testing
- Internal control assessments
- Specific account verification
