Frequently asked questions

What is your normal scope for a review?

Most loan reviews include loans from a wide variety of industries, officers, and bank locations to ensure a portfolio is well represented. Each review is different just like each bank is different. We discuss upfront with banks about areas of concern or risks within portfolio segments and then tailor the review to assist with these riskier areas. Having expertise across a wide section of industries allows us to provide the view you are looking for.

What is the difference between a directors’ exam and an audit?

A directors’ exam is a set of agreed-upon minimum procedures banks are required to perform for regulatory purposes. The final report issued for a directors’ exam is a list of procedures performed and any resulting exceptions. An audit is a process involving tests based on the risk of an institution. These tests provide the auditor with evidence about amounts and disclosures in an institution’s financial statements. Based on evidence gained, the auditor is able to express an opinion on the fair presentation of the financial statements including appropriateness of the accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant estimates made by management. The final report is an opinion on the financial statements accompanied by management’s financial statements and related disclosures.
