We can provide services for any industry, but pride ourselves on the reputation we have achieved while serving as the auditor for clients in the following distinct industry niches:
- Healthcare
- Technology
- Government/Not-for-profit
- Employee benefit plans
- Manufacturing and distribution
Our business philosophy is to focus on targeted industry niches, which requires us to monitor and stay aware of trends, laws and regulations, new accounting rules and other environmental factors impacting our clients. Equally important, we understand the unique goals, opportunities and challenges facing each client and assist them with analysis of the ever-changing business environment.
With a client base ranging from startup to $1 billion in revenues, we can tailor our approach to your needs. We use our understanding of each client and the environment in which they operate to assess the risks impacting their business and their financial reporting process. Using this risk assessment, we develop a tailored audit approach responsive to the risk profile of each client. Accordingly, our audits emphasize the higher risk areas and avoid spending excessive efforts in lower risk areas.
In addition to financial statement audit services, we are able to creatively design non-traditional assurance engagements to meet specific needs. These engagements can be broad in scope or can be narrowly focused depending on the needs of the users and the assurance needed for the engagement.
We can assure you that the professional assistance you receive from us comes from years of advanced training, technical expertise and industry knowledge. We invest a significant amount of time and resources in continuing professional education, computer technology and extensive business relationships.
We are committed to the highest standards of quality and ethics. We have implemented a comprehensive system of quality control to ensure that consistently high quality is maintained in the delivery of our audit and other assurance services.
As evidence of our commitment to quality, we are licensed members of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) and the California Society of Certified Public Accountants, and we have voluntarily become members of two AICPA Quality Centers: the Governmental Audit Quality Center and the Employee Benefit Plan Audit Quality Center as well as the AICPA’s Private Companies Practice Section.
We are periodically subject to independent peer review of our system of quality control over our accounting and auditing practice. Our most recent Peer Review Report conducted in January 2011, provided an unqualified (“clean”) opinion on Ahern Adcock Devlin LLP’s compliance with the requirements of quality control standards for an accounting and auditing practice established by the AICPA. The results of our peer review are consistent with past peer reviews we have concluded.
In addition to audits and non-traditional assurance engagements, we provide a full range of financial reporting services.
- Reviewed financial statements
- Compiled financial statements
- Single Audit (OMB Circular A-133)
- Internal control studies
- Due diligence
- Grant specific audits
