Audit & Attestation Services

Not every business needs a full audit. At DK Partners, we help you identify the appropriate level of assurance for your situation, ensuring you meet your obligations without overcommitting resources. Each engagement is customized to your goals, stakeholders, and reporting deadlines.

We offer:

Audit – Highest level of assurance, including in-depth testing and confirmation procedures.
Compilation – Assembling financial statements without assurance.
Review – Limited assurance through analytical procedures and inquiries.
Agreed-Upon Procedures (AUPs) – Custom procedures for specific financial areas or internal controls.
Internal Audit Support – Identify weaknesses in processes, policies, and internal control structures.

Our team will walk you through the pros and cons of each option, helping you choose what’s right for your business today—and scalable for tomorrow.

Compilations & Reviews

Enhance the credibility of your financial statements with our Compilation and Review services, each accompanied by an Accountant’s Report. Our Compilation service organizes your financial data into clear, professionally presented statements. It is ideal for businesses that need formal financial statements without requiring in-depth analysis or assurance. For a higher level of credibility, our Review service provides limited assurance by performing analytical procedures and inquiries to identify any material modifications needed for your financial statements to conform with accounting standards.

Learn about Compilations & Reviews.

Agreed Upon Procedures & Examinations

Provide credibility of your business’s specific subject matter with our tailored Agreed-Upon Procedures (AUP) and Examination services. These AUP services are designed to provide a detailed and independent evaluation of specific areas, whether it’s financial reporting, operational processes, or regulatory compliance.

Examinations, on the other hand, offer a more comprehensive assessment, providing assurance on whether your subject matter complies with applicable criteria or standards. Both services come with an Accountant’s Report that outlines our findings.

Internal Audit

Internal audits provide an additional layer of monitoring and strengthen the efficiency and effectiveness of your processes and controls over matters of operations, compliance and reporting.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting (ICFR)

Internal Controls over Financial Reporting (ICFR) refers to the processes, procedures, and policies that a company puts in place to ensure the accuracy and reliability of its financial statements. Our ICFR services help to mitigate risks, identify errors or fraud, and improve the transparency of your financial statements.

What is the difference between a review and a compilation?

When does my business need audit or attest services?

Compilations and reviews are common for small companies, nonprofits, and businesses seeking financial transparency. Internal audits and performance audits can help management, audit committees or others charged with governance fulfill their monitoring responsibilities.

What are Agreed-Upon Procedures (AUP) engagements?

AUPs offer a targeted approach to evaluate subject matter, as requested by a client, and can focus on financial or operational data. AUPs provide factual findings without offering an overall opinion. These are often useful for assessing compliance or providing due diligence prior to business mergers or acquisitions.

Internal control assessments evaluate your processes and controls to identify weaknesses, reduce fraud risks, and improve operational efficiency. Strong internal controls safeguard your assets, reduce risk, and help ensure regulatory compliance.
