SEC Public Companies Services
Audit & Related Services
RotenbergMeril is one of the Top 100 SEC Audit Firms in the United States and is one of the fastest growing SEC audit firms in the NY/NJ Metropolitan Area. Our success in this area is based on the high quality experience of our partners and managers, some of whom have gained their expertise at international accounting firms such as Ernst & Young, Deloitte & Touche and McGladrey, as well as quality mid-sized regional SEC audit firms.
Our SEC Services Group focuses on serving publicly traded mid-sized and emerging-growth companies. Our audits are specifically designed for those companies with consideration for their internal controls, systems and personnel.
Our audit approach is designed to minimize business and audit risk associated with the audit process of public entities by maintaining high quality client acceptance standards. Our policies are designed to seek out relationships with company management who have a high degree of integrity and competence, and where there is a balance between the likelihood that the business will succeed and the risk assumed by the investors.
We continually keep our clients informed of the latest SEC and FASB developments, and maintain an active involvement with audit committees to ensure their participation. Our firm is registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, and we are subject to the rules of the PCAOB, including its periodic inspections of our firm.
All of our audit engagements are staffed with experienced managers that can handle the complexities of the client engagement. We ensure that sufficient planning is performed on each engagement to ensure the timely identification of key business and accounting issues and audit strategies. Our goal with clients is to minimize financial reporting “surprises.”
Each engagement is reviewed by a concurring partner who is not on the engagement team, so as to objectively review the audit and accounting issues and financial statements before they are finalized.
Quality counts, and therefore we have put in place some of the highest quality SEC reporting and auditing training programs for our professional staff given by organizations such as The SEC Institute, the PCAOB, PPC Auditwatch and the AICPA. The combination of experience and continued professional education ensures adherence to quality that translates into efficient audits, less SEC comment letters and better financial reporting for our SEC registrant clients.
We regularly provide guidance to our clients with their prospectuses, proxy statements, Form S-1's, 10-K's, 10-Q's and 8-K's, reverse acquisition transactions and pro-forma disclosures.
If you’re planning on going public in the future, we can guide you through the IPO process including the preparation of the Form S-1 and prospectus and the audit of your financial statements under PCAOB audit standards.
