The cost of non-compliance is one your company cannot afford to absorb. Public companies and companies developing their initial public offering (IPO) are required by the Securities Acts to register and disclose financial information, file annual reports and comply with disclosure rules. The Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002 creates a burden on audit committees to maintain a high standard of auditor-independence. Keeping ahead of all regulations, deadlines and procedures is not a process you have to face alone.

The SEC Practice Group of Singer Lewak Greenbaum & Goldstein LLP (SLGG) offers reliable independent auditing services and securities expertise. We specialize in providing a cost-effective alternative to the national accounting firms together with extraordinary client service. We are distinguished as one of the largest SEC practices in the country.

Extraordinary Client Service
Because of their size, middle-market companies are often forgotten or ignored by national accounting firms. In other words: the companies that need assistance the most are often provided with the least. These middle-market companies are our focus and we consistently deliver for them, because we understand them and their challenges:

  • Our depth of experience allows us to provide a high level of service required for middle market companies and to deliver results quickly
  • Our specialists continually demonstrate the ability to meet the tight deadlines required of public companies
  • Our approach involves active involvement of partners and managers in the securities offering process and subsequent required SEC filings to make sure critical issues are identified during planning and are resolved expediently
  • We react quickly to client needs and maintain sufficient staffing for special projects such as acquisition audits
  • We provide our clients with timely updates for changes in the accounting and regulatory environment
  • Compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) Act of 2002 and exchange requirements Click here to read more about our SOX Services.

Our audit approach emphasizes the audit committee's expectations and is designed to identify and address the express needs and concerns of the committee, all while producing the highest quality audits in the timeliest manner possible. Our approach includes:

  • Allowing for extensive interaction between our client and the partner and manager-level personnel
  • Client acceptance policies designed with a focus on company quality and management integrity
  • Audit engagements staffed with the proper level of experienced personnel
  • Thorough planning to identify and address key accounting issues and audit strategies
