Forensic Accounting
A growing challenge for many organizations is the protection of its resources and income from acts of fraud and wrongdoing. To be effective, a forensic accountant must have extensive experience in the fields of audit and accounting.  Our professionals in this area may work as an independent expert to conduct an examination, render an opinion, and if necessary, provide expert testimony.  Because of their in-depth experience, they are also called upon to review business' accounting systems and, make recommendations as to how the system of internal controls and internal checks can be improved to prevent theft and fraud.
 
Employee Benefit Planning
Federal law requires employee benefit plans with 100 or more participants to have an audit as part of their obligation to file an annual return/report.  Employee benefit plan audits include pension, health and welfare, and 401(k) plans subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA).  To meet the challenges of performing quality audits in this unique and complex area, Isler CPA has developed expertise within our Audit and Assurances Services Group.

The specialists in this area direct their continuing professional education toward enhancing their technical skills and to keep abreast of the latest information in this rapidly changing area. Our employee benefit plan services area is growing and includes audits of plans sponsored by privately-owned businesses and governments.

Audits, Review and Compilation Services
We view our role in the financial reporting process as an opportunity to provide constructive solutions for maximizing your company's profitability and efficiency. We have embraced more stringent requirements instituted by the accounting profession in recent years because they compliment our long-standing procedures and methods. The result is an in-depth understanding of your entire operation and greater assurance of the reliability of your financial statements.

We provide financial reporting on all three levels of assurance:

  • Audit- an examination with the highest level of assurance.
  • Review - some analytical procedures conducted with limited assurance.
  • Compilation - based upon client information provided and used primarily for internal use.

Regardless of the level of assurance service provided, one fundamental concept remains the same and that involves our understanding your unique entity.  By coupling our insight into your business with the level of assurance needed, we can more efficiently and effectively plan and perform the work.
 
Attestation
Attestation, Agreed-Upon Procedures and Assurance Services

Attestation engagements are most appropriate for clients who have assurance needs that don't require an audit of financial statements. Rather, they require procedures to be applied to their specific transactions, events, processess or controls. In attestation engagements, we examine, review or apply agreed-upon procedures as defined in our arrangement with our client. The nature of the engagement varies from client to client and may include historical or prospective performance, break-even analyses, or internal control systems and processes.
