Upcoming Audit

As we approach the end of the year, the first financial and procedural audit will be performed. You will be receiving a call from Cameron Shafie in the next week. He will provide you with a list of things that need to be done in order to prepare for the audit.

The audit has three purposes:

1. Verify the financial information and reconcile your books.

2. Assist you in properly closing the books at year end and prepare your financial information for submission to your CPA or Tax Accountant.

3. Accumulate data and information to prepare recommendations for standardizing the accounting and operational systems, in order to ensure that all locations are uniform in their operational procedures. Over time this will greatly increase our ability to benchmark and improve profitability.

The audit will begin in early January and should be completed by the end of January. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate in giving me a call.
