Prats Fernández &
Company provides a broad spectrum of auditing and accounting services to small and
medium size businesses and not-for-profit organizations.
These services include audits of financial statements in accordance with
generally accepted auditing standards; preparation of unaudited financial statements;
reviews of interim financial statements for purposes of reporting to boards of directors
or to the public; reviews of and reporting on internal financial controls; special
reviews of examinations relating to acquisitions, mergers, sale of a business, and
other special purposes; and many other accounting and auditing-related services.
The Firm assigns a
partner to administer the work of every client, regardless of its size-not only
to provide better liaison but to permit closer professional attention at the partner
level to each client’s particular requirements.
In the case of large or geographically dispersed companies, two or more partners
are assigned to a client’s affairs so as to permit closer supervision and more effective
coordination of the work. This close
attention results in a more immediate response to client needs and enables the Firm
to make a unified and cohesive approach to client affairs.
Prats Fernández and Company’s association with its major clients can be attributed
directly to these policies and concepts.
It is generally
recognized that independent examinations of annual financial statements and reviews
of interim financial information of public companies are essential to the maintenance
of high quality and consistency in financial reporting and to the continuance of
confidence in the financial reporting process.
At the same time, accountants must always be alert to the development of
more sophisticated management information systems and must themselves devise new
audit techniques that deal effectively with these developments.
Prats Fernández & Company concentrates on adapting auditing procedures
to new technology and is continuously training its auditing staff in the review
and audit of EDP controls and output data.
The Firm adheres to the use of statistical sampling auditing techniques.
This has resulted in more efficient audits and lower audit cost as well.
