Business Review
We conduct organizational and operational audits of our clients’ businesses so we can find and fix shortcomings before the problem can cause major damage – (i.e. during a tax audit, lawsuit, or when there is a dispute with a customer, among owners, or an employee.) Such an assessment may include:
- Verification of the company’s legal existence and maintenance
- Review of compliance with governing statutes and organizational documents
- Review of corporate and operational records
- Determining compliance with requirements in buy-sell agreements or other succession planning (i.e. periodically valuing the business)
- Determining compliance with requirements established by external sources (i.e. government, professional, or contract)
- Ensuring annual filings have been made and licenses are current
- Reviewing the company’s contracts and and identifying the business’ contracting needs
- Audit of employment and independent contractor practices, protection of intellectual property
- Review of securities, litigation, risk management, and insurance issues
Indeed, such measures not only reduce risk of loss, but can also increase the value of your business.
