Financial statement audits

Annual audits and interim reviews.

Core recurring engagements for SEC registrants — planned around your filing calendar so 10-K and 10-Q deadlines hold.

Form 10-K

Annual audit — domestic issuer

Integrated audit of annual financial statements filed on Form 10-K under US GAAP and PCAOB Auditing Standards. Includes opinion on financial statements and, for 404(b) filers, an integrated opinion on ICFR.

  • Risk assessment under AS 2110
  • Substantive testing & analytical procedures
  • Engagement quality review (AS 1220)
  • SEC consent for registration statements
Form 20-F · FPI

Annual audit — foreign private issuer

Audit of FPIs filing Form 20-F. We handle both IFRS (as issued by the IASB, no U.S. GAAP reconciliation required) and U.S. GAAP reporting, with bilingual engagement teams for Latin American issuers.

  • IFRS and US GAAP engagements
  • Group audit coordination (AS 1205)
  • Bilingual EN/ES documentation
  • Cross-border consolidation reviews
Form 10-Q

Quarterly interim reviews

SAS 100 / PCAOB AS 4105 reviews of quarterly unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements filed on Form 10-Q. Coordinated with your year-end audit so nothing gets re-performed twice.

  • SEC Rule 10-01(d) quarterly reviews
  • Inquiry and analytical procedures
  • Filing-deadline discipline (40/45 days)
SOX 404(b)

ICFR audit — integrated

Audit of internal control over financial reporting under PCAOB AS 2201, integrated with the financial statement audit. For accelerated and large accelerated filers, plus advisory readiness work for companies approaching the $75M public-float threshold.

  • Entity-level controls walkthrough
  • Process-level control design & testing
  • ITGCs and spreadsheet-control reviews
  • Deficiency evaluation & remediation

Transaction audits

IPOs, reverse mergers, and up-listings.

When the filing timeline is non-negotiable, we plan backward from your S-1 or Super 8-K date — and we commit to it in writing.

IPO audit (Form S-1)

Two years comparative audited financials under Regulation S-X Rule 3-01 (three years for non-EGCs). Coordinated with SEC counsel and underwriter's counsel.

Reverse merger audit

Operating-company audits required within four business days of closing via Super 8-K, or Form 10 registration with audited financials.

Up-listing (OTC → Nasdaq)

Re-audit of comparative periods under PCAOB standards, ICFR readiness work, and coordination with listing-qualifications staff.

Spin-off carve-out audits

Carve-out financial statements under SAB Topic 1.B / SEC Rule 3-05 for spin-offs, divestitures, and significant acquisitions.

Cross-border transactions

Business-combination accounting under ASC 805, purchase-price allocation support, and opening-balance-sheet audits for newly acquired entities.

Regulation A+ offerings

Audits and reviews for Tier 2 Regulation A+ offerings (Form 1-A, 1-K, 1-SA) under PCAOB standards when required.

Specialized engagements

Inspection remediation and technical accounting.

Post-inspection

PCAOB inspection remediation

If your previous auditor received Part I.A or Part I.B deficiencies on your engagement, we perform a gap re-audit or incremental procedures to bring the file to PCAOB inspection standards — and issue a clean workpaper history going forward.

Technical

Complex accounting advisory

Revenue recognition (ASC 606), lease accounting (ASC 842), stock-based compensation (ASC 718), business combinations (ASC 805), and digital-asset accounting. Consultation performed independent of the audit where required by SEC Rule 2-01.
