Most people are familiar with the terms “Garbage In, Garbage Out”. Systems should be designed to allow for the specific needs of the management of the company and also to allow for proper control of information, protection of assets and effective reporting.

While we do not sell or set up systems, we often find that many companies can benefit from a discussion from those who are familiar with systems and can provide an unbiased outside opinion. As auditors, we have a requirement to review the system of internal controls and report on deficiencies to management. Often our consulting on systems is done in conjunction with other services that are being provided including financial statement and tax return preparation. This consultation often results in the ability of staff to be more efficient and effective in their responsibilities.
