Assurance

It’s safe to say that few companies have an audit performed because they want to. For most, an audit is the requirement of a bank, bonding company, governance authority or others to get "assurance" and receive or maintain the necessary capital to run and grow their business. Smith & Howard’s assurance services are provided with this in mind.

Our audits are performed in a technically accurate, verifiable, timely and imminently reliable manner to satisfy the requirements of the most discerning financial statement users. We possess the highest qualifications and an outstanding reputation in the financial community; in fact, as auditors, we agree to be regularly audited by one of our peer firms and have the opinion on our process available to the public. This is important to us — we want those who rely on our data and advice to know that they can count on us.

On the other hand, we make sure that our audits are performed efficiently, through careful planning, preparation and use of the best of today’s technology. Our planning has been developed to streamline the time and effort our client personnel must expend, while providing the most sound, reliable audited financial statements possible.

Additionally, our assurance team is a rare blend of audit professionals that possess all the essential qualities of a strong auditor, and the attitude, personality and a genuine sense of concern about our clients. This makes an audit not just less painful, but actually a valuable tool for a company and a guide for improving the bottom line.
