issue opinion letters regarding various financial accounting
topics for our clients. These opinion letters help our
clients to work more effectively with auditors, the SEC,
management and even investors, with regard to highly technical
accounting topics. The most common use of
our opinion letters is to resolve internal management struggles
over confusing but important accounting regulations. Also,
from time to time our clients will request an opinion letter
in order to support a position they have taken or wish
to take with their auditors.
