Public Companies

Informed. Diligent. And Able To Deliver Value.

Below is just one example of our commitment to staying informed on issues affecting our public clients.

"We fully understand our role, restrictions and responsibilities in the present climate. We work hard to stay abreast of current developments and their effect on our accounting procedures and translate these to actionable items for our public clients."

– Joan Waggoner, Partner in Charge of Quality Assurance, currently serves on the  Professional Practice Executive Committee of the Center for Audit Quality.

We also firmly believe that the resulting financial statements need to instill complete confidence for all who rely on them to make financial decisions. We have believed this—and have stated this in writing—since our inception, even though we understood it might have made our firm less attractive in past climates.

We also believe that the marketplace and our clients should expect to receive great value from the new requirements. They should see them not so much as limitations but as opportunities to

  • Verify that control decisions are sound;
  • Add another set of experienced, outside eyes to the review and evaluation process;
  • Learn where additional follow-up might be needed or where there might be some concerns; and
  • Regain trust in the statements they use to drive their business forward

We strive to make sure the audit process is not a burden to our clients. We work hard to ensure that the resulting financial statements were not a hurdle they had to overcome, but rather a foundation on which they can further build their business.
