A lender has asked for audited accounts
Send the wording from the lending agreement or request. We establish what the bank expects, which periods are covered and when the report is due.

A lender wants audited statements. Your board needs an independent report. A filing deadline is coming up. Tell us what has been requested and when it is due. Our Mercer Street team will help you establish the scope, documents and next steps.

The report needs to answer the right request. A bank, charity regulator, investor and licensing partner may each need something different.
Send the wording from the lending agreement or request. We establish what the bank expects, which periods are covered and when the report is due.
Bring the filing instructions and funding agreements. A charity filing, a grant condition and a federal funding requirement may call for different work.
The intended filing affects the standards, periods and audit work involved. Start the conversation while you are planning the timetable.
New York agencies, brands and rights owners may need specific reported figures checked against an agreement. That calls for a different scope from auditing a full set of financial statements.

The useful details are in your business, building or funding agreement. Here are three examples of how an audit request can arise for a New York organization.

For a Manhattan property company or a Brooklyn co-op, the starting point is the actual request. We clarify the entities, reporting period and required level of assurance before asking your managing agent for records.
Real estate audits ↗
A grant application or board request can call for separate financial reporting. We discuss the organization’s funding, reporting obligations and deadline, then establish whether an audit, review or other engagement fits.
Nonprofit audit services ↗
A Brooklyn business expanding into Manhattan may be asked for audited statements by a lender or investor. We look at the accounting systems, entities and periods involved so the request becomes a workable plan.
Financial statement audits ↗Feedback from clients featured on Dimov Audit’s website, across the firm’s audit practice.
“Their team was thorough, professional, and let us stay focused on our mission.”
“The team impressed us with their professionalism, attention to detail, and thorough approach.”
These reports are not interchangeable. Check what your lender, board or other recipient will accept before paying for an engagement.
An independent auditor tests evidence and issues an opinion on the financial statements. An audit provides reasonable assurance, rather than a guarantee that every error will be found.
Start here when: the request specifically calls for audited financial statements.
Financial statement audits ↗A review relies principally on inquiries and analytical procedures. It provides less assurance than an audit and does not include an audit opinion.
Start here when: the recipient confirms that reviewed statements meet the requirement.
Ask about a review ↗A compilation presents financial information in financial statement form. It does not provide assurance on the information or replace a required audit.
Start here when: you need compiled statements and the recipient accepts that level of service.
Compiled statements ↗Only certain figures need checking? An agreed-upon procedures engagement reports findings from specific procedures agreed for the engagement. Send us the request so we can discuss whether it fits.

We discuss timing once we understand the work and the records available. A first-year audit or a complex entity structure can need more preparation.
Confirm the reporting requirement, accounting framework, entities, periods and intended recipients. Discuss fees and timing before work starts.
Identify the schedules and supporting documents needed, who will supply them and any gaps that could affect progress.
The team carries out the planned procedures and follows up on questions. Your finance team provides explanations and supporting evidence.
Resolve outstanding matters and complete the required reviews before issuing the report. We discuss relevant findings with management.
