Financial-statement audits can be complex, time-consuming, and burdensome in any of its many forms. But with Squire, you’re never alone. Our technical accounting and audit assistance services ensure that your business is ready to face any audit with confidence.

Our audit assistance service is a business advisory solution designed to prepare companies for third-party audits by identifying gaps, cleaning up financial records, preparing audit schedules and memos, and drafting financial statements and filings. We also provide guidance during the audit itself, coaching you through the process, answering audit inquiries, and advocating for you if challenges arise.

Rest easy. Whether you’re a company undergoing your first audit, preparing for public offerings, or already a public filer, our team is here to assist you every step of the way.

From financial preparation to compliance with accounting standards, we streamline the entire process, saving you time and minimizing disruption.

What is a financial-statement audit?

Simply put, a financial-statement audit—not to be confused with an IRS audit—is an independent examination of a company’s financial records to verify accuracy, ensure accountability, and identify areas for improvement. Audits may be routine or regularly scheduled, but they may also happen in the event of a merger, acquisition, or restructuring. Suspected fraud or other irregularities may also lead to an audit.

Some of Squire’s key services in audit assistance include:

  • Revenue Recognition (ASC 606) Compliance
  • Lease Accounting (ASC 842) Guidance
  • Financial Instruments and Derivatives (ASC 815) Consulting
  • Mergers & Acquisitions Financial Impact Analysis
  • SEC Reporting Support
  • Accounting Policy Development, Documentation, and Implementation
  • Audit Preparation and Support

Who benefits from Squire’s audit assistance?

Our team of experts in technical accounting services is equipped to guide businesses of all sizes with their audit needs. For the most part, we specialize in two groups: (1) companies new to audits or with limited resources, and (2) public companies or companies preparing to go public.

Audit assistance for companies new to audits or with limited resources

If your business has never needed an audit before and/or lacks the internal capacity to get “audit-ready,” we step in to provide the expertise and resources to fill those gaps.

Audit assistance for public companies or companies preparing to go public

If your company is a public filer, or even one planning on going public, we assist in navigating the complexities of SEC filings, GAAP compliance, and navigating new or complex standards. Squire provides the additional support your team needs for a successful SEC audit.
