Audits. Assurance. Value.
One of the larger specialty areas at Schechter Dokken Kanter is our Audit team, in which we perform audits, assurance services and other attestation services for clients in a variety of industries. Generally speaking, we perform these services often-times because they are requested and/or required by investors, lenders, regulatory agencies, owners or stockholders. With our input, your audit experience can turn into a very positive experience, ultimately helping to enhance your operation’s value through our findings.
SDK’s audit process is tailored to each client’s operation ensuring that efficiency and effectiveness is attained. We use advanced technology tools including a paperless system and data extraction software. This allows us to keep current with trends and analysis. Experience and technology, combined with our suggestions and insights along the way make our audit team a good choice for your organization.
Value Added
Our professionals have extensive industry experience and specialized training in various audit techniques. What makes us different is that we take our experience and combine it with our belief in extensive client service in an effort to give you the personal attention you deserve from an audit staff. As expected, we analyze numbers, but we do more than that. We observe each client’s unique situation and deliver appropriate advice. Ultimately this provides unmatched value and satisfied, successful clients. Our staff is well-rounded, experienced working with publicly-traded companies, privately-held businesses, government entities, Indian tribes and nonprofit organizations in all stages of development.
Teamwork for your Success
You can expect innovative approaches and astute recommendations as a result of our involvement in your audit. We work with you from the very beginning of the audit through completion to ensure satisfaction. First, we meet to fully understand the scope of your project, and then match our appropriate team members with the level of service you require. This means you only pay for what you need. Second, this team then meets for an engineering session at the beginning of a client’s engagement to assess the most efficient and effective process to perform the audit. Essentially, we develop our audit approach for your specific needs and goals. Third, we communicate with you along the way. In addition, you will always have available to you a shareholder overseeing the audit and maintaining your satisfaction.
