Tax Audit Assistance
If your business or personal return has been selected for an IRS or Washington State tax examination, timely professional guidance can help you understand the request, organize your records, and respond appropriately.
Because tax audit assistance is different from a financial statement audit, we begin by reviewing the notice and determining what type of support or representation may be appropriate.

Financial Statement Audits
A financial statement audit provides the highest level of assurance. We examine financial records, internal processes, supporting documentation, and accounting practices to determine whether the financial statements are fairly presented in accordance with the applicable financial reporting framework.
An audit may be required by a lender, investor, regulator, governing board, or contractual agreement.
Financial Statement Reviews
A review provides limited assurance through analytical procedures and inquiries. It is less extensive than an audit but offers greater assurance than a compilation.
Reviews can be appropriate for organizations that need credible financial statements without the scope or cost of a full audit.

Financial Statement Compilations
A compilation assists management in presenting financial information in the form of financial statements. It does not provide assurance, but it can help a business produce organized financial statements for internal use or submission to outside parties.
