01 Audits for Cannabis Organizations
An audit is the highest level of financial statement services a CPA firm can provide for your cannabis organization. The objective of an audit is twofold:
- To express an opinion about whether the financial statements prepared by management are fairly presented, in all material respects
- To evaluate conformity with US generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) or, if applicable, International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)
A cannabis compliance audit consists of several steps, including:
- Obtaining an understanding of internal control
- Assessing fraud risk
- Corroborating the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements
- Obtaining audit evidence through inquiry, physical inspection, observation, third-party confirmations, examination, analytical procedures and other procedures
Whether you’re facing a state audit or an IRS 280E audit, turn to our expert team for the guidance and knowledge you need.
02 Reviews for Cannabis Organizations
A review of financial statements for your cannabis organization includes the performance of analytical procedures, inquiries and other procedures. The objective of a review is to provide a reasonable basis for expressing limited assurance.
In short, a review seeks to clarify whether there are material modifications that should be made to the statements for them to conform with the US GAAP or, if applicable, IFRS.
03 Compilation for Cannabis Organizations
A compilation is the presentation of the financial statements of your cannabis organization that are the representation of management. There is no attempt to express any assurance on the statements.
