Assurance Services for Government Entities
Weaver’s audit process is a risk-based approach in which we identify potential areas of risk that could lead to material misstatement of an entity’s financial statements. We customize our audits and allocate resources based on specific client needs as well as industry experience. To evaluate your risk, we first seek to understand your organization’s internal controls and capabilities. We learn about your operations, accounting processes, priorities and strategic objectives. We will teach your staff, too, educating them about looming pronouncements or regulatory changes so that you’re prepared. And most importantly, we communicate. Our audit teams focus on creating open, honest conversations with you, from the initial planning meeting to the final board presentation and all the fieldwork in between.
