ASSURANCE SERVICES THAT EMPOWER INFORMED DECISION-MAKING
When your stakeholders need confidence in your financial information, SEK delivers thorough, professional assurance services that empower informed decision making and strategic planning for the future.
Our assurance team works as strategic partners across a wide range of industries and entity types—from closely held businesses and nonprofits to governmental entities and financial institutions. We take the time to understand your organization's unique circumstances, ensuring that our work is not only compliant with professional standards but genuinely useful to you and your stakeholders.
Financial Statement Audits
We conduct financial statement audits meticulously, following U.S. Generally Accepted Auditing Standards (GAAS). Our comprehensive process includes risk assessment, quality management evaluation, and evidence gathering to provide reasonable assurance that your financial statements are free from material misstatement. As your trusted auditors, we also offer year-round guidance and use technology, planning tools, and checklists to streamline the audit process and reduce demands on your staff.
Financial Statement Reviews
Obtain limited assurance that your financial statements are presented in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). Through analytical procedures and inquiries, we assess whether any material modifications should be made to your financial statements. Reviews are often appropriate when lenders, investors, or other outside parties require a level of assurance that is less extensive than an audit.
Financial Statement Compilations
Present your financial information in a clear, structured format without the assurance provided by an audit or review. During a compilation engagement, we use information supplied by your management to prepare financial statements in accordance with the applicable financial reporting framework. This service is ideal for organizations that need professionally prepared financial statements for internal use or submission to outside parties.
Agreed-Upon Procedures
Address specific financial or operational concerns through procedures tailored to your organization’s needs. We work with you and other specified parties to determine the procedures to be performed, which may focus on areas such as internal controls, regulatory reporting, financial records, or compliance requirements. We report the factual results of those procedures without providing an opinion or assurance, allowing users to evaluate the findings for themselves.
Employee Benefit Plan Audits
Meet regulatory requirements and strengthen confidence in your employee benefit plan's financial reporting through an independent audit. Most plans with 100 or more eligible participants are required by the Department of Labor to engage a qualified, independent CPA firm to perform an annual audit. Our experienced professionals evaluate plan financial statements, participant data, contributions, distributions, investments, and compliance with applicable requirements.
Inventory Count Observations and Field Audits
Support accurate financial reporting with independent inventory count observations and field audit services. Our professionals evaluate inventory-counting procedures, perform test counts, inspect inventory, and document findings to help your organization and its auditors assess the reliability of reported inventory balances.
Assurance on Non-Financial Information
Ensure compliance with contracts and regulatory audits, maintaining transparency and meeting key standards.
Due Diligence for Mergers and Acquisitions
Make informed transaction decisions with financial due diligence tailored to merger & acquisition transactions. We analyze financial performance, earnings, working capital, potential liabilities, and other areas that may affect the transaction, helping buyers and sellers identify risks, validate assumptions, and approach negotiations with greater confidence.
