SEC Reporting
Freed Maxick has built a successful SEC practice based on years of experience auditing public companies that have a wide variety of public and private capital transactions. We have the depth of resources and SEC experience to meet rotational requirements of the SEC with appropriate engagement leaders and concurring reviewers, as well as technical reviewers.

Our Approach to Public Companies
Our audit approach is designed to minimize business and audit risk associated with the audit process of public entities through:
- Client acceptance policies designed to seek out relationships with company management who have a high degree of integrity and competence
- Audit engagements staffed with the proper level of experience to handle the complexity of the client engagement
- Planning to ensure the timely identification of key business and accounting issues and audit strategies
- The involvement of concurring reviewers who are not on the engagement team, to objectively review the working papers and financial statements before they are finalized
