Financial Statement Assurance

At McLeod|Ascanio, we bring years of experience and expertise to the audit and review of financial statements. While the basic purpose of audited financial statements is to provide assurance to stakeholders such as banks, government agencies and owners, our approach can add value to our clients’ business.

Our approach to value-added services is intrinsically tied to the way in which we view our profession. There are two principle ways to view the accounting profession: one is as a science and the other is as an art. The scientific view is a system of discovery governed by predetermined rules…much like those included in your typical audit program. Art is the conscious use of skill and creative imagination. We choose to view accounting as an art and it is reflected in our business model, our solutions, and our ability to detect subtle differences in transactional data, and our ability to vigorously explore alternatives that others may, too readily, conclude impractical.

At McLeod|Ascanio our partnership culture brings together experienced, skilled people who will discover and analyze the facts, who bring to the table a wide variety of industry and client audit experiences, as well as successes in assisting clients to improve their financial and operational performance. Regardless of the industry, our personnel have demonstrated their ability to quickly understand financial reporting systems, transactional flow, and potential control breakdowns. Using their knowledge and experience, they have worked with clients to develop remedial actions to ensure the complete and accurate reporting of information for both management and external reporting requirements. It is for these reasons that we feel our audit approach will meet with your audit and compliance needs and desires.
