SEC Reporting Companies

As a publicly-traded company, you have the challenge of building and maintaining investor confidence, while complying with the ever-changing reporting requirements. You can control costs and maintain trust by engaging our professional accountants in your company's financial reporting process.

Our expert services encompass the following:

Financial Statement Preparation

The SEC's reporting requirements under the 1933 and 1934 Acts protects investors by requiring full and fair disclosures in connection with the offering and sale of securities to the public. These disclosures generally require GAAP financial statements accompanied with footnote disclosures. It is critical that the company be able to prepare accurate, detailed, and meaningful financial statements.

We will help you meet reporting requirements, whether you are planning an IPO, merging or acquiring a business, or simply complying with the annual and quarterly filings.

Compliance Reporting

Whether you are planning an IPO, merging or acquiring a business, or simply complying with the annual and quarterly filings, we will work with you to produce other disclosure requirements, including drafting management's discussion and analysis (MD&A), executive compensation tables, etc. We collaborate with the company's auditors and lawyers to ensure filings are made timely and accurately.

Financial Records Compilation

For companies looking to make the transition of going public, there is often the challenge of compiling financial information from the prior years. We will help you during this transitional phase, from ensuring that significant contracts and/or agreements are properly accounted for, to drafting GAAP compliant statements.

Let us help you prepare for this important and exciting development in your company.

Internal Controls

Although the new financial regulatory reform bill exempts companies with a public float of less than $75 million to comply with SOX 404(b), which relates to the auditor's attestation report on internal controls over financial reporting, companies must still comply with SOX 404(a). This requires management to assess the company's internal control over financial reporting.

Clients call upon us to establish, monitor, and analyze the internal control structure of the company. We understand that every company is different, and therefore should be tailored to the size and complexity of the company's business. We will work with you to formulate and adopt internal controls to improve operations and facilitate efficient and timely reporting.

Due Diligence

There are enormous risks involved in business acquisitions. Whether you are the target company or the acquirer, we will assist you in due diligence activities, including review of pertinent contracts and agreements, inspection of assets and operations, and collaboration with your legal counsel.

Audit Preparation

When unprepared, audits can become costly and time consuming for management. We will help you prepare for the audit process, including compiling an audit reporting package which generally comprises of the company's financial statements, responses to auditor inquiries, reconciliations, and other supporting documents. We will also collaborate and work with the company's auditors through the completion of the audit.
