Transparency: how we perform quality audit engagements

Auditors play an important role for an organization and its stakeholders. This drives our desire to collaborate and clearly communicate while delivering a high standard of service. While similarities exist, accounting firms are not all the same. Baker Tilly professionals bring skill, integrity, and energy to each audit engagement. They adhere to policies in performing their work including quality control standards, ethical and independence requirements, client acceptance procedures and leadership responsibilities. We pride ourselves on these key differences that bring value to your organization:

Professionals who operate on a risk-based model that aligns to a specific understanding of the client’s business, industry and internal controls

Proactive, personal and responsive client service through a collaborative team that brings service expertise together into an integrated approach, and ensures continuity and access to partners and managers

Active communication of findings and knowledge-based insights throughout the engagement

Informed observations and recommendations from experienced professionals who know your industry

In-depth technical experience allows us to keep clients apprised of significant developments related to new accounting or auditing standards and how they may affect their organizations

Active participation in standard setting-bodies, committees and task forces including the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) and Center for Audit Quality.

Proudly partner with the AICPA in the development of its Dynamic Audit Solution, a transformational audit methodology we believe will modernize and enhance the quality, efficiency and value of audits.

Talent to assist our engagement teams in the most complex areas of an audit, including valuation, information technology and internal controls, and complex accounting and auditing matters.

Strong global network through Baker Tilly International

System of quality control

Baker Tilly has adopted a system of quality control and other safeguards applicable to every audit engagement completed by the firm. These controls and safeguards provide a comprehensive system that serves to promote audit quality and prevent or detect, in a timely manner, potential engagement deficiencies. As a result, we believe that the firm’s system of quality control meets the requirements of quality control standards adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) and the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA).

Financial statement audit

An audit of financial statements is an independent examination of a company's financial statements and accompanying disclosures by an independent auditor. The purpose is to provide an objective independent examination of the financial statements, helping to increase the value and credibility of the financial statements produced by the organization. This then helps to increase user confidence in the financial statement, reduce investor risk and reduce the cost of capital for that entity. 

Organizations need auditors that understand the requirements and regulations their entity is subject to.Learn more about our industry specialized auditors and how we can help you with a quality audit: 

Employee benefit plan audit

An employee benefit plan audit examines the financial statements and operations of a plan that provides benefits to the employees of an organization, such as pensions, health insurance, or stock options. The purpose of an employee benefit plan audit is to ensure the plan complies with the relevant laws and regulations, such as the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA). And, that the plan's assets are fairly valued and properly safeguarded.  

An employee benefit plan audit may be required by law, by the plan's governing documents, or by the plan's sponsors or administrators. An employee benefit plan audit can provide assurance to the plan's stakeholders, such as participants, sponsors, administrators, regulators, and creditors, that the plan is operating in accordance with its objectives and obligations. 

Learn more about our employee benefit plan audit team and their experience auditing more than 2,000 plans annually:

What are assurance services?

Assurance services are independent professional services that aim to improve the quality or context of information for decision-makers. They are usually provided by certified or chartered accountants such as certified public accountants (CPAs). Assurance services can include a review of any financial document or transaction, such as a loan, contract, or financial website. The review certifies the correctness and validity of the item being reviewed by the CPA. 

In simpler terms, assurance services are an independent examination of a company's processes and controls. The goal is to reduce information risk by improving the quality or context of the information. Accounting professionals are qualified independent practitioners who can perform such services.
