Phase 3: Financial Statement Review <br /> Once the financial statements and related notes have been compiled, they will be processed through our <br /> Technical Standards Review (TSR). Draft financial statements are given a detailed review by the audit <br /> manager. Then the financial statements and other reports are reviewed for format,presentation and <br /> compliance with all applicable professional guidance and technical pronouncements by the engagement <br /> principal and quality control principal. Through the TSR process,we are able to assure our clients that <br /> their financial statements have been subjected to the most stringent review of technical compliance and <br /> reporting excellence available. In most cases, the first level of this process is completed while we are still <br /> in the field,which allows for complete drafts (including any related audit findings and <br /> recommendations)to be reviewed with management before the audit team leaves the field,when <br /> information is still fresh and any issues are easily resolved. <br /> Phase 4:Conclusion/Issuance Procedures <br /> Our conclusion and issuance procedures vary, but may include following up on outstanding <br /> confirmations,reviewing the minutes of board meetings held subsequent to our fieldwork,and obtaining <br /> written representations from management concerning the completeness and fair presentation of the <br /> financial statements. Once complete,we will produce final PDF versions of the financial statements and <br /> related reports,and provide them to you via email. <br /> Quality Control <br /> In order to ensure that all our engagements meet our high quality standards,we have implemented a <br /> firm-wide system of quality control,or Technical Standards Review. The significant components of this <br /> system,as they relate to your audit,are as follows: <br /> • All workpapers and audit programs are reviewed by the associates' immediate supervisors, and <br /> ultimately,the engagement principal. <br /> • Draft financial statements and other reports are given a detailed review by an associate not <br /> connected with their preparation. <br /> • Finally,the financial statements and other reports are reviewed for format,presentation,and <br /> compliance with all applicable professional guidance and technical pronouncements by the <br /> engagement principal and two top-level executives independent of the engagement team. <br /> P”,e /9 Rkehmann <br /> 62 <br />
