Securities Broker – Dealers

Expert Broker-Dealer
Audit Services

Rules and regulations in the broker-dealer industry have been heightened in the wake of illegal activities and broker improprieties. Broker-Dealers of all sizes have been affected by the increased scrutiny. It is important to find a firm that has the relevant knowledge and expertise in this ever changing industry. Our professionals have extensive experience performing timely audit and tax services to our broker-dealer clients.

The Securities and Exchange Commission ordered that beginning in 2008, nonpublicly traded as well as publicly traded broker-dealers have to be audited by a firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB). We have been registered with the PCAOB since its inception.
