Audits

An audit must be performed for any community association with total annual revenues of $400,000 or more.

An audit is a formal, objective examination of an entity's accounts and financial situation. The purpose is to express an opinion and provide reasonable assurance that the financial statements are free from material misstatements.

During an audit, the accountant must:

• Plan and perform the engagement with an attitude of "professional skepticism"
• Acquire evidence by completing analytical procedures and substantive testing
• Report his findings based on the evidence examined

In addition, an accountant must also understand the entity's internal controls structure and assess different levels of risk.

Community Association Services

Compilations - Obtaining information from management in an effort to prepare financial statements. A compilation does not provide assurance that the statements are fairly presented. Financials are formatted in order to be easily read by outside sources.

Reviews - Inquiries and analytical procedures are conducted, providing limited assurance on the financial statements. A review is a mid-level assessment performed by an independent accountant.
