CFO Consulting Partners’ pre-audit services helps public and private companies produce workpapers and a full set of GAAP financial statements, including footnotes, for review by its independent auditors. Workpapers are cross-referenced and references are made to supporting documentation. For public companies, CFO Consulting Partners offers SEC report preparation services (i.e., 10-Qs and 10-Ks, including MD&As).

Typically in a Pre-Audit engagement we:

  • Research of GAAP and disclosure issues and the application of accounting principles to a company’s facts and circumstances

  • Provide support related to SEC Comment Letters
  • Financial statement restatement
  • Assist with preparing delinquent SEC filings
  • Assure a high level of quality control

Benefits to include:

  • Potential cost savings due to lower staffing needs or lower outside accounting fees
