Public accounting is often referred to as, "the Language of Business."  Indeed, the accounting and reporting practices of any company, large or small, are the means of communicating the company's status and activity to its various publics, such as the banking community, the federal, state and local governments, shareholder/owners, customers, creditors, insurers, etc.  The relationship to a Public Accounting Firm should be built on the utmost trust, confidence and reliance.


A few critical questions are pertinent when a company is selecting an accounting firm.  The answer to these and other probing questions test the firm's capabilities, integrity, objectivity and character:

•             What level of experience has the firm attained?

•             What is the firm’s standard for quality?

•             What are the historical values of the firm?

•             Who does the firm currently serve?

•             What is the firm’s track record and longevity with its clients?

•             What is the firm’s general relationship with the statutory and regulatory authorities?

•             What is its attitude towards the professional development of its people?

•             What is the firm’s commitment to the profession of Public Accounting?
