SEC Reporting

Hein has distinguished itself in SEC work since its founding, with the skills, expertise and, most important, the integrity required to provide the highest level of quality service to public companies. We are one of the top 25 firms in the country auditing SEC clients, and are ranked higher than firms many times our size.

We maintain our independence by providing only those services that are permitted by Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) regulations and have been pre-approved by the audit committee. In working with public companies, we have extensive experience serving as auditor; performing special projects for audit committees; taking the role of advisor on significant transactions; assisting with tax compliance and conducting internal control assessments (SOX 404). SEC work is some of the most specialized in the world of accounting.

Since the passage of SOX, CPAs must overcome a number of additional barriers to entry, including a stringent registration process, to earn the right to do SEC work.
