The Importance of Financial Auditing Firms

For many small to midsize businesses, having a dedicated internal accounting team may not be feasible. That’s where Platine Associates steps in. Our financial auditing services are designed to help you achieve regulatory compliance, reduce risk, strengthen your reputation, and adapt to evolving financial requirements. By having our experienced professionals review your financial statements, balance sheets, and income data, you can present a fair and accurate picture of your organization’s financial health to external stakeholders.

With a certified audit from Platine Associates, you not only gain valuable insights for improvement but also build trust with investors, lenders, and regulatory bodies.

Audit and Assurance Services We Offer

We provide two key types of audit and assurance services: audits and reviews.

• Audits
  Audits offer an in-depth examination of your company’s financial history, records, and account balances. We evaluate your financial statements and provide detailed recommendations to enhance accuracy and transparency. Audits are typically required for organizations with annual revenues of $10 million or more.

• Reviews
  Reviews are less intensive than audits but still play a critical role in identifying anomalies such as irregular transactions or unauthorized activities. These services help detect potential fraud or accounting inconsistencies. Reviews are generally suitable for businesses with annual revenues between $1 million and $10 million.
