Audit and Audit Related Services

Blackman Kallick is one of the fastest growing SEC audit firms in the Midwest and ranks in the Top 10 of Illinois-based PCAOB registered accounting firms providing SEC audit services. Our success is based on the high quality and extensive experience of our partners and managers, some of whom have gained their expertise at international accounting firms.

Quality counts, and therefore we have put in place some of the highest quality SEC reporting and auditing training programs for our professional staff given by organizations such as The SEC Institute, the PCOAB, Auditwatch and the AICPA. The combination of experience and continual training ensures efficient audits, less SEC comment letters and better financial reporting for our SEC registrant clients.

Our SEC Services Group focuses on serving publicly traded mid-sized and emerging-growth companies. Our audits are specifically designed for those companies with consideration for their internal controls, systems and personnel.    

We regularly assist our clients with:

  • Prospectuses
  • Proxy statements
  • Form S-2's, 10K's, 10Q's, 8-K's and SB filings
  • Reverse takeover transactions
  • Pro-forma disclosures

If you’re planning to go public in the future, we can assist you with the IPO process and preparation of the Form S-1 and prospectus and PCAOB audit of your financial statements.

What You Can Expect

All of our audit engagements are staffed with experienced accountants that can handle the complexity of the client engagement. We ensure that sufficient planning is done on each engagement to ensure the timely identification of key business and accounting issues and audit strategies. Our goal for our clients is to minimize financial reporting “surprises.”

Each engagement is reviewed by a concurring partner who is not on the engagement team, so as to objectively review the audit and accounting issues and financial statements before they are finalized. We continually keep our clients informed of the latest SEC and FASB developments, and maintain an active involvement with audit committees to ensure their involvement throughout the audit process.
