The accuracy and effectiveness of an institution’s financial reporting and internal controls processes is critical to its safety and soundness. Selecting a certified public accounting firm to provide assurance on the financial statements and internal controls is an important decision in maintaining its financial health.
PYA’s experienced audit professionals serve the public trust and are keenly aware of their responsibilities to our clients, their boards, and other stakeholders. Having served numerous financial institutions, we can guide your institution through the complexities of financial reporting and internal control design while supporting other aspects of your business.
PYA has long served community banks, credit unions, and other financial institutions with independent assurance and practical insight. Our professionals understand the regulatory and operational challenges financial institutions face and guide clients through complex requirements with precision.
As a privately owned firm, PYA maintains full independence and objectivity. Our integrated audit, tax, and advisory services give clients a complete view of financial health while helping identify opportunities, reduce risk, and strengthen sustainability.
PYA is a trusted advisor dedicated to integrity, transparency, and accountability. We help financial institutions achieve reliable reporting and sound internal controls that inspire confidence among boards, regulators, and stakeholders.
PYA notes that no two financial institutions are the same. A risk assessment helps management and the audit committee prioritize internal audit work and concentrate resources on areas presenting the greatest risk, rather than applying the same work plan to every institution.
Routine testing can help an institution identify and correct regulatory compliance deficiencies before its next examination. This can be particularly important when the institution has limited personnel who are both independent of the activity being reviewed and knowledgeable about the applicable compliance requirements.
PYA describes a detailed final report that explains the procedures performed and provides relevant recommendations and comments. The report should give management and the audit committee practical information they can use when considering controls, compliance, and the institution’s safety and soundness.
Depending on the reporting or control need, PYA’s financial institution services include reviews and compilations of financial statements, agreed-upon procedure reports, special reporting, System and Organization Controls examinations, FDICIA compliance, and assistance with new accounting standard implementation.
These services may be relevant when an institution is addressing allegations of fraud, financial irregularities, disputed transactions, or other matters requiring focused financial analysis. PYA’s related forensic services include internal investigations, asset tracing, financial analysis, expert testimony, transaction due diligence, and financial fraud prevention.
Over our 40-year history, PYA has consistently delivered high-value advisory services to our national client base. Our team is deployed to develop custom plans using proven approaches and work plans.
