Risk Assessment Standards

Eight new ways to minimize your risk.

The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants recently issued eight new requirements designed to improve year-end audit quality with a risk-based approach. While following these guidelines requires more planning time, research, and evaluation of your internal controls, the results will mean:

  • A greater understanding of your business
  • Better communication between Moss Adams and your key staff
  • More efficient and effective audit procedures
  • Recommendations based on internal controls review

New procedures. Better results.

In order to achieve new performance levels, here’s what you can expect from your Moss Adams team:

  • More time devoted prior to year-end
  • More interaction with you during the planning, pre-audit phase
  • Interviews with key employees
  • Deeper evaluation and understanding of internal controls
  • Pre-testing operating effectiveness
  • More communication regarding internal control deficiencies
  • Internal control documentation review
  • Varied time and energy commitment depending on the year and circumstances
  • Customized audit plan
