The term audit does not have to inspire fear. By definition, we are simply referring to an inspection of an individual’s or organization’s financial accounts. Audits can also be conducted to assess the health and efficiency of one’s operations. In these contexts, this service is associated with many benefits that can strengthen your business’s operational viability and sustainability. By partnering with Whyte & Associates, Inc., you get a trusted independent source of valuable insights in Rancho Cucamonga, California, to propel your business forward and take its growth to new heights of success.
Individuals’ or organizations’ financial reporting is comprehensively reviewed during an audit. Outside entities and authorities will take a big-picture look at one’s finances, either as part of routine processes and procedures or due to a “triggering” event, such as suspected inaccuracies, which may or may not have been done on purpose. The former example of audit types/motivations might include regular audits of franchise operations on the part of franchisors. This is a service that our firm provides, which helps to “ready” franchisees prior to them being audited by the franchisor.
By examining your finances and procedures comprehensively, we can gain helpful insights into your businesses and may even detect weaknesses that could otherwise lurk for months or years. Without properly addressing these weaknesses, they could have an outsized and negative impact on your business and its bottom line.
Of course, every situation is different. Fortunately, we have seen a lot in nearly 70 years of operations. We have worked with businesses of all sizes and types and from across diverse industries and sectors. Depending on what we uncover, inappropriate accounting practices may be identified and resolved. These practices can lead to costly errors in your accounts. We may also derive information that your team could use to craft strategies that enhance overall productivity and boost your profitability. Tied closely to these efforts, tax compliance and planning may be simplified.
Our audits lend credibility to your financial statements when seeking funding or financing to expand your business. So, you are more likely to acquire the funds and support that your business needs to grow. Also, fraud is not just a “big business” problem. It can occur within any organization of any size. Employee theft, payroll discrepancies, false worker’s comp claims, and other fraudulent activities may be brought to light sooner rather than later to minimize damage to your business.
