Financial Reporting

As always, accounting services are the heart of a certified public accounting firm's practice. Our primary goals are to assist our clients in achieving their financial objectives and to add value through quality client service. 

 

To accomplish those objectives, Topping Kessler utilizes only highly qualified professionals. Our members and senior staff are actively involved in all engagements to ensure that our clients receive the expertise they deserve.

 

Our Approach

 

When providing accounting services, we utilize a risk-sensitive approach that takes into consideration the specific abilities of our client's internal accounting staff, any financial disclosure requirements and all federal, state and regulatory compliance issues. We examine a company's operations with a fresh perspective and make observations and recommendations that are substantive, relevant and practical.

 

Internal Control Review

 

An internal control review concentrates on the organization of the financial reporting structure and processes of a company. This review is different from most other accounting services because it concentrates on the control structure that produces the financial information and not on the financial information itself.

 

During an internal control review, Topping Kessler will study a company to identify its financial reporting strengths and weaknesses. 

 

We will be particularly attentive to the weaknesses and explain to management how these weaknesses could adversely affect the company's ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information.

 

Our recommendations strengthen the internal controls and consequently provide asset protection and assurance that transactions are executed in accordance with management's authorization. After Topping Kessler performs any accounting-related procedure for your company, you will receive a management letter or report that details our findings and recommendations.

 

Agreed-Upon Procedures

 

Performing agreed-upon procedures is a process of applying specific procedures to an area of a financial statement or within a specific accounting cycle. When agreed-upon procedures are requested, a member of the Topping Kessler team will meet with you to determine what specific goals you are trying to accomplish and the procedures that will help achieve those goals. Agreed-upon procedures are then performed to provide management or others with an opinion regarding the fairness of information presented.
