Audit: Considerations for Group Audits [Video]

Audit: Considerations for Group Audits

With the rise of globalization and the ability to work remotely, companies are increasingly spreading out, whether expanding sales and services into new markets and/or decentralizing operations with the setup of regional hubs and overseas shared service centers. These factors add complexity to an audit and often require the assistance of other auditors, including other offices within the same firm, other countries within the firm’s network and sometimes even other firms. Group audits present their own challenges and require special considerations around risk assessment, determining the nature, timing, and extent of audit procedures at the group as well as at the component level, communication between auditors, and supervision and review of audit work performed.

5 ways small businesses can choose the right CPA firm [Video]

The search process for the right CPA firm demands comprehensive research and your undivided attention. Details matter. But that doesn’t mean it needs to be an arduous affair. Here are five essentials that will ease the search process. Read the full article on how to select the best CPA firm for your small business here: https://www.aicpa.org/professional-insights/article/five-ways-small-businesses-can-choose-the-right-accounting-firm1) Start soon after you form your business.The best time to hire a CPA firm is before you’ve offered your first product or service. Yes, you need to think about it at the beginning of your journey to create a new organization.2) Look for a regulatory expert.No matter the industry, small businesses have regulatory and compliance concerns to address. Your CPA firm must have a deep knowledge of meeting these concerns to handle all your business activity correctly.3) Find a firm that stays on top of tax law changes.We only have to look back to 2018, when sweeping federal tax code changes took effect under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA). In 2022, digital services such as PayPal, Venmo and Zelle will, for the first time, report payments of more than $600 to the IRS.4) Leverage CPAs for their industry knowledge and ability to move your business forward.The right firm will understand your enterprise on a deep level, whether you manufacture machine parts or employ new cloud software products. A CPA firm well versed in your industry allows you to benefit from the intimate knowledge they have — and will continue to glean from other clientele in your line of business.5) Get clear and responsive communication.While accounting demands a laser focus on numbers and laws, communication and responsiveness provide the glue that holds everything together. CPAs will take the time to understand you, your business and your goals.
