Auditing Introduction Letter

From: Langroodi, CPA
To : Management of Apollo Shoes, Inc.

RE: Auditing and assurance services

Dear Mr. Jason, First, I would like to appreciate to giving me this opportunity to explain a couple points related to our firm and services, so then I’ll try to make them understandable and short as much as I can; because I know how valuable your time is.

Langroodi CPA has proud to being in business for more than 15 years and we always tried to build a close and comfortable relationship with our clients. We have the most educated and trained personnel and high quality audit tools. Our audit approach is successful because it concentrates on understanding the clients ' business and control issues, and combines diagnostic process, risk assessment, and audit testing procedures.

My role in providing assurance is to ensure that there is sufficient audit evidence, to check the control present in the IT environment of your firm, testing control procedures, planning audit procedures, and assisting other auditors and experts. I check if the tests of controls have been properly completed and if substantive procedures have been carried out properly.
At this time, I would like to explain some points regarding our services. First, I want to explain, what auditing means: “Auditing is the accumulation and evaluation of evidence about the information to determine and report on the degree of correspondence between the information and establish criteria”.

Auditing has a lot of benefit for every organization. I listed some of these benefits as follow: * Auditing can analyze the financial statements and make them understandable for users [including: Management, shareholder, investors, clients and …] * Auditing can identify the weakness in any organization. * Auditing can assess risks, quality and

    Internal and external users of financial information require assurance that reports filed are accurate and transparent. Increasingly, both investors and legislators are requiring accountability from executives and financial officers. For this reason, auditing and assurance services must sign-off or attest to the credibility and reliability of written assertions. Creditors rely on the accuracy of financial reports when calculating the risk and interest rate of loans. Investors and employees need reliable information when allocating their precious resources. Governmental agencies require transparency and compliance to insure the public is not being victimized by fraud. Do increased auditing requirements guarantee that there will never be fraud? No! Increased auditing does not promise to prevent fraud, but it does assure us that due diligence is exercised to a reasonable degree in the examination of documents and compliance. Moreover, the benefits of assurance that come from auditing inspire businesses and the economy to thrive. Consequently, the attestation portions of financial reports are a requirement for the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as well. Likewise, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) itself must consider and factor in these variables when conducting their audits, since depreciation for tax purposes is not usually identical to the depreciation used in financial reporting. Auditing is a process that takes place when an auditor gathers unprejudiced evidence regarding the reliability and integrity of financial statements, compliance, and operational information provided by an organization. Audits can be performed by different people. Independent auditors, such as CPAs, and governmental auditors, or employees working for federal, state, or local government entities. There are different types of auditors who are not directly employed by the organization being audited. Internal auditors, however, are employed by the organization and go on to perform…

    Next are the responsibilities of the management and the auditors. Management is responsible for many things from ensuring that internal controls are in place, fraud risks are identified, and effective governance is established (University of Nebraska-Lincoln, 2015).
