Dave Czarnecki is the managing partner of Czarnecki and Hogan, a medium-sized local CPA firm located outside of Chicago. Over lunch, he is surprised when his friend James Foley asks him, “Doesn’t it bother you that your clients don’t look forward to seeing their auditors each year? Dave responded, “Well, auditing is only one of several services we provide. Most of our work for clients does not involve financial statement audits, and our audit clients seem to like interacting with us.”

Required

a. Identify ways in which a financial statement audit adds value for clients.

b. List other services other than audits that Czarnecki and Hogan likely provides.

c. Assume Czarnecki and Hogan has hired you as a consultant to identify ways in which they can expand their practice. Identify at least one additional service that you believe the firm should provide and explain why you believe this represents a growth opportunity for CPA firms.
