Unrecorded liabilities pose a significant risk to the accuracy of your financial reporting. Our CPA team ensures that all liabilities—whether accrued payroll, unpaid vendor bills, or deferred expenses—are properly recorded before month-end closures. This step is crucial for maintaining the integrity of your financial statements, particularly in an accrual-based accounting system.
Detecting Unrecorded Liabilities
- Thorough Review of Accounts Payable: We review all outstanding invoices and vendor statements to ensure that any unpaid bills are captured in your financials, preventing underreported expenses.
- Accrued Payroll and Benefits: Unrecorded payroll liabilities, such as unpaid wages or employee benefits, are accurately adjusted to reflect the true obligations of your business at month-end.
Accrual-Based Adjustments
- Compliance with GAAP Standards: We apply accrual-based accounting adjustments to match revenue and expenses in the correct reporting period, ensuring your financials are in full compliance with GAAP.
- Real-Time Expense Reflection: By adjusting for unrecorded liabilities, we ensure that your financials provide an accurate view of your business’s current financial obligations, improving decision-making and transparency.
Audit-Ready Financials
- Minimizing Audit Risks: Ensuring that all liabilities are accurately recorded reduces the risk of material misstatements during an audit, providing peace of mind for you and your stakeholders.
- Detailed Documentation: We provide comprehensive documentation of all adjustments made, ensuring your financial records are audit-ready and comply with external audit requirements.
By reconciling unrecorded liabilities and making the necessary accrual adjustments, we ensure your financials are compliant, accurate, and ready for external audits. Let us help you maintain clean and accurate month-end financial statements that support sound decision-making.
