Accounting
Responsibilities
We will use our skills as accountants on your behalf
and we are responsible for performing such work with
due professional care within the framework of our
professional standards. However, as management of
the entity, you are necessarily more familiar with
its operations, its personnel and the reality
underlying its books and records. Accordingly, your
management (and board of directors) will remain
primarily responsible for the data and information
contained in the financial statements, as well as
for the evaluation of the capability and integrity
of the company's personnel and the maintenance of
adequate accounting records and internal controls
for safeguarding the company's assets. Periodically,
we may give you a "draft" copy of your financial
statements to review. If there is anything in the
draft statements or final statements that are not
completely clear to you, please be sure to question
us until you are satisfied.
Issuance of Reports
When we compile financial statements or other
financial data, our exercise of professional due
care includes important processes wherein we review
our own work. When such processes have been
completed, our findings are presented to you in a
formal report. Accordingly, although we may
sometimes make a draft copy of your report available
as a courtesy, those finding are not to be relied
upon or disseminated until our completed report is
issued.
Other Information In Documents Containing
Financial Statements
The inclusion of our reports in documents containing
information in addition to the financial statements
and our reports thereon (e.g., annual reports to
shareholders, regulatory filings, offering
circulars, etc.) may require us to perform
additional procedures to fulfill our professional or
legal responsibilities. Accordingly, our reports
should not be used for any such purposes without our
consent. In addition, to avoid unnecessary delay or
misunderstanding, it is important that you give us
timely notice of your intention to issue any such
document.
