FAQs for Audit and Attest Services

What are Audit and Attest Services?

Audit Services involve an independent examination of financial statements and related records to ensure accuracy, reliability, and compliance with accounting standards and regulations. The goal is to provide assurance that the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

Attest Services encompass a broader range of engagements where an auditor evaluates and reports on various types of information, not just financial statements. This can include reviews of internal controls, compliance with regulations, or other specific assertions made by a company.

What is the difference between an audit and a review?

An audit provides the highest level of assurance. It involves a thorough examination of financial statements, internal controls, and transactions through detailed procedures, including tests of evidence. Audits are usually required for publicly traded companies and are intended to detect material misstatements.

A review, on the other hand, offers limited assurance. It involves primarily analytical procedures and inquiries with management. Reviews are less comprehensive than audits and are typically performed for smaller entities or to provide less assurance.

Why are audit services important?

Audit services are crucial for several reasons:

  • Credibility: They enhance the credibility of financial statements for stakeholders, including investors, creditors, and regulatory agencies.
  • Compliance: They help ensure compliance with accounting standards and legal requirements.
  • Risk Management: They identify areas of risk and recommend improvements in internal controls.
  • Fraud Detection: They help detect and prevent fraud by examining financial transactions and processes.
What are the types of attest engagements?

Common types of attest engagements include:

  • Agreed-Upon Procedures: Specific procedures are performed on financial or non-financial information as agreed upon by the auditor and the client.
  • Compliance Attestation: Evaluates compliance with specific laws, regulations, or contractual agreements.
  • Internal Control Attestation: Assesses the effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting.
Who needs an audit?

Typically, audits are required for:

  • Publicly Traded Companies: Required by securities regulators for transparency and investor protection.
  • Private Companies: May be required by lenders, investors, or other stakeholders.
  • Non-Profit Organizations: Often required by donors, grant providers, or regulatory agencies.
  • Government Entities: Required for compliance with public sector financial management standards.
How often should a company have an audit?

Most companies have an audit annually. However, the frequency can vary based on factors such as regulatory requirements, stakeholder needs, and internal policies. Some entities may have audits more frequently if required by investors or regulatory bodies.

How should a company prepare for an audit?

To prepare for an audit, a company should:

  • Organize Financial Records: Ensure all financial statements and supporting documents are accurate and complete.
  • Review Internal Controls: Verify that internal controls are functioning effectively.
  • Communicate with the Auditor: Discuss the scope and expectations of the audit with the auditor.
  • Address Issues: Resolve any identified issues or discrepancies before the audit begins.
