Audit Services

A major portion of our professional practice is auditing services to health care facilities and related entities. Through testing and evaluating evidence, we are able to express an opinion and advise on a client’s financial statements.

Each audit engagement is under the supervision of a specific partner whose expertise best suits the specific need of the client. Through our knowledge and understanding of the client’s business and their competitive position; as well as the prevailing conditions in the industry, we can offer targeted, specific recommendations. We advise on the client’s services and their relative importance to revenues as well as the audit risk conditions for the client’s business.

This insight permits us to concentrate on what is most important in conducting an effective and efficient audit. Our audits involve a combination of analysis and testing; including specialized audit techniques, which, coupled with year-end verification procedures, enables us to express our opinion on the fairness of the financial statements.

Throughout the audit, we look for ways to improve the client’s internal controls, operating efficiency and profitability and advise the client on ways to improve their bottom line.
