Reporting And Analysis For SEC Compliance


Leading the Sec reporting process for a company can free up the finance staff to work on other important tasks and can minimize outside audit and legal fees. Everest's trained staff can coordinate the entire document with management, the auditors and legal counsel or take responsibility for specific sections or problem areas. Areas that are problems for many companies involve equity transactions, cash flow statements and restructururing costs and liquidity comments. We leave a complete audit trail supporting the reported numbers.

 

  

Everest's Approach:

We kick-off an SEC project by breaking the target report into its sections and then assigning responsibilities and developing a timeline for their completion. The natural sections for a Form 10-K are:

  1. Financial Statements and Notes
  2. Management's Discussion and Analysis
  3. The Business Section
  4. Other Sections
  5. Review and Approval by Management, the Auditors and the Audit Committee
  6. Filing and Production

Throughout the entire process, one person must be responsible for Document Control and coordinating changes and comments from all parties.
