Audits & Financial Reporting
LG&H can provide a range of financial reporting to fit both your pocketbook and the requirements of lenders, bonding companies, boards of directors, or governmental agencies.
At the highest level of assurance are audited financial statements. We will verify the balances of all significant accounts for these financial statements and make sure that your financial statements are fairly stated in the required accounting manner. If your Board or a third party demands the most assurance available, this is the option to choose.
At an intermediate level of assurance are reviewed financial statements. Here much of what we do to assure ourselves of the financial statements’ accuracy consists of inquiries of management and analytical review procedures.
