Independent process evaluation
Monitoring is an important process that includes ongoing review and evaluation of established policies and procedures for other elements of your system.
The company's quality control monitoring program helps them provide reasonable assurance that their policies and procedures relating to the manufacture of products or services are relevant, adequate, and working effectively in practice.
Support in control and governance of an organization
The governance of an organization rests on its decision-making bodies working with reliable information, and on the controls that produce it operating as designed.
An attestation service allows an independent third party to report on how those controls are working, so that the board, the partners and the oversight functions can rely on an external opinion and not only on the internal assessment.
Confidence in the preparation of Income Statements
Not every piece of financial information a company needs to support calls for a full audit of the financial statements.
When the interest is focused on the preparation of the income statement — its completeness, the criteria used to recognize revenue and costs, and consistency between periods — an attestation report provides assurance on that specific point, with a scope agreed from the outset.
For credit applications for business growth
Financial institutions and investment funds often make a credit line conditional on the information presented being supported by an independent third party.
A report issued by a public accountant meets that requirement and shortens the lender's review, because it delivers the information with the level of assurance and in the format they expect to find.
