The objective of financial statements is to provide information about the financial health of an individual or enterprise. They should be understandable, relevant, reliable and comparable.
Mixner & Company has been providing properly
engineered financial statements since 1981; our financial
statements strictly adhere to generally accepted accounting principles
and auditing standards, while our expertise provides the insight necessary to grow your business or personal finances.
Audit
An audit includes outside confirmation of accounts
and balances as well as reviewing on a sample basis, internal documents
related to the transactions of the period under examination. Audited
financial statements are the most costly of the services we offer but
provide the highest degree of credibility to outside parties. Audits
are not designed to detect fraud and should not be relied on for that
purpose. In today’s economic environment most surety companies
do not require an audited statement unless you have very high bonding
limits.
Review
As the most employed financial statement today, a review principally consists of inquiries of company
personnel and analytical tests of the financial information under review.
It is less credible than an audit but more credible than a compilation.
Compilation
Used most often for interim reporting, a compilation
is simply your financial information put into proper presentation.
It is the least credible financial statement we prepare and therefore
the least expensive.
