Audits

Financial statements summarize the financial status and results of operations of a business entity. HBC CPAs provides formal financial reports prepared from accounting records. Those statements may include a balance sheet, statement of retained earnings, statement of income and a statement of cash flows.

We examine your records and financial statements for the purpose of expressing an opinion as to whether the financial statements present fairly the financial position at a given date and results of operations ending on that date in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The report that prefaces financial statements expresses our opinion as the external auditor as to the fairness of the financial statements attached.
