Audit Readiness, Simplified

The Office of the CFO manages multiple demands this time of year — Riveron’s finance and accounting experts are here to prepare your organization for a seamless year-end.

Audits are increasingly complex.
Tackle this audit season with an experienced team.

Our audit readiness services include:

• Audit project management – Riveron professionals help your team by taking on the administrative burden of managing an auditor’s prepared-by-client (PBC) request list. We efficiently manage audit activities by creating deliverables, shortening audit timelines, and mitigating risks. Our comprehensive approach, both pre-audit and throughout the audit process, enables your company to enhance efficiency and minimize the risk of costly delays.
• Technical accounting assistance – Not every company has the in-house expertise required for complex accounting analyses. Riveron brings extensive technical accounting expertise to identify the issue and related guidance, analyze alternatives, and help clients arrive at a sound position. Partnering with your team, our accounting advisors document each position to ensure it satisfies audit requirements and sustains scrutiny.
• Account reconciliations, including intercompany tie outs – Timely, accurate and audit-friendly account reconciliations are imperative to achieving audit deadlines, and these matters are often cited as a reason for audit delays and billing overages.
• Preparing financial statements and reporting – Riveron applies best practices gathered over years of experience to streamline and automate the financial statement and footnote preparation and related auditor review.
• Audit planning for new acquisitions – Acquisitions impact the annual audit scope and are often overlooked during the year-end planning process as companies race to close deals prior to year end. Acquisitions are critical events that come with numerous accounting and reporting complexities. To prevent audit delays, we help you understand the appropriate accounting treatment of a business combination versus asset acquisition, which has material accounting impacts on a transaction.
• Internal control stand-up and remediation – Audit risk and materiality determinations are largely dependent upon an auditors’ ability to rely on a company’s internal controls framework. Riveron provides practical support for designing and testing the internal controls framework as well as remediating a material weakness.
• Preparing work papers and schedules – Managing tight timelines with limited resources could lead to compromised quality on audit deliverables, causing costly delays. With years of experience addressing auditor expectations, Riveron efficiently manages audit activities by creating high-quality deliverables.

Be audit-ready so your accounting and finance team can invest time in more important matters.

More than ever, today’s accounting professionals are expected to do more with less. Couple that with the increased regulations and tightened annual audit deadlines, year-end can be daunting for the office of the CFO to balance. We help you address these pressing demands, freeing up your accounting and finance team to focus on strategic needs for the year ahead.

Riveron can help with audit readiness and other comprehensive services tailored for the office of the CFO. Since Riveron is not a CPA firm, we are not bound by the traditional independence restrictions of audit firms.
