Quality, Accuracy & Efficiency in financial reporting

Financial analysis is more sophisticated than ever. Users of financial statements are demanding more information to help with decision making.

Audited financial statements—the centerpiece of Alexander Thompson Arnold’s assurance services—have added benefits for clients far beyond their immediate compliance function. For example, they bring credibility to your financial picture. They communicate information objectively and in a way that makes data easier to find and understand. Beyond these basics, they provide insight so that you can improve your business. These benefits also apply to our other assurance services.

We work hard to maintain high standards of professional practice, including a strong system of quality control that emphasizes independence and objectivity and includes many control features that exceed our profession’s requirements.

Features of Our Quality Control System

• ATA is registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB), which is required in order to serve as an independent auditor of public companies.
• All professional personnel are required to confirm their independence with respect to the firm’s assurance clients annually.
• The managing partner is responsible for overseeing this process and making any judgments on application of the independence rules.
• An independent CPA firm regularly reviews our work, and we have always received a "clean" opinion in these reviews.
• We conduct our own internal peer reviews on a regular basis.
• Our training programs provide 50% more training than required by professional standards.
