Audits

An SAI audit provides a methodical review of a subject’s associated documentation and physical assets. Audits are performed to assist with valuations, verifications, or for portfolio assessments. Audits for valuation purposes should not be confused with a CPA’s audit of financial information. Audits in connection with the preparation of valuation reports do not include procedures designed to discover defalcation or other irregularities, should any exist.

For machinery and aircraft, this service can be employed to provide verification of the asset’s physical status, its usage, regulation compliance, maintenance compliance, damage status or repair, and in some cases, its continued existence.

For business clients, audits are performed to examine records and documents to verify completeness. A business’ inventory and other physical assets may also be audited when necessary.
