Audit & Assurance FAQs
What is the difference between an audit, a review, and a compilation?
An audit provides the highest level of assurance through independent testing, control evaluation, and a formal opinion on whether financial statements are free from material misstatement. A review provides limited assurance through analytical procedures and inquiry without the full testing of an audit. A compilation involves preparing financial statements from management-provided information without providing any assurance. The right engagement depends on what your stakeholders require.
Does my business need an audit?
Common triggers include lender or investor requirements, regulatory mandates, nonprofit grant conditions, public company reporting obligations, and IPO preparation. GreenGrowth CPAs can help you determine the right level of assurance for your specific situation.
What is a SOC report and when do I need one?
A SOC report is an independent evaluation of a service organization's controls. SOC 1 reports address controls relevant to financial reporting. SOC 2 reports address security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy. Technology companies, SaaS providers, and service organizations often need SOC 2 reports to satisfy enterprise client requirements.
What is a PCAOB audit and when is it required?
A PCAOB audit follows Public Company Accounting Oversight Board standards and is required for SEC-registered companies, including companies preparing for an IPO. PCAOB audits involve stricter independence requirements, additional documentation standards, and more rigorous quality control than standard GAAS audits. GreenGrowth CPAs is registered with the PCAOB.
Can GreenGrowth CPAs audit cannabis or other regulated businesses?
Yes. GreenGrowth CPAs has specific expertise auditing cannabis operators, nonprofits, governmental entities, life sciences companies, and other regulated businesses that require auditors with deep industry knowledge beyond what standard audit firms provide.
How long does the audit and assurance process take?
Engagement length depends on the type of work and size of the organization. Compilations typically take 1 to 3 weeks. Reviews run 3 to 6 weeks. Private company audits typically run 6 to 12 weeks from kick-off to issued opinion. PCAOB public company audits run 8 to 16 weeks. First-year audits and IPO preparation audits take longer. GreenGrowth CPAs establishes a clear timeline at engagement start and plans fieldwork to align with your reporting deadlines.
