Employee Assessments

 

Do you wish a better predictor existed as to whether a candidate is a good match for your current job opening? Are resumes and interviews by themselves no longer dependable methods for hiring? What about your current work force – do you wish you had a method for understanding where their skills line up with the career path and training goals you have planned for them?

 

If the answer is ‘yes’ to any of these questions, consider implementing employee assessment solutions in your hiring and development processes. We can help. CAA has VAST experience helping our clients administer profile assessments for both new hires and current staff. This has resulted in better job fits, higher productivity and lower turnover. The return on investment continues to multiply for these clients. Here’s how:

 

With job candidates, you will:

 

  • Understand who they are and will be
  • Identify their work ethic, interests and critical thinking skills
  • Discover if they are a good match for the job opening
  • Recognize if they will fit into your overall company culture
  • Know if they were candid in their profile answers

 

With your current staff, you can:

 

  • Recognize if your employees are currently in the best matched position
  • Determine if any of your current staff members are a match for an internal promotion
  • Design training and development programs for areas identified as needing improvement
  • Better understand your employees’ work methods which helps improve communication
  • Use as a tool in performance reviews and the creation of job descriptions

Industry-Driven Federal and State Regulatory Compliance

 

Compliance programs are under increasingly strict scrutiny from federal and state regulators

 

Governing bodies set forth regulations that strive to keep the industries they examine running smoothly. But with so many regulations to comply with and governing bodies to report to, regulatory compliance can be confusing, overwhelming and very costly. Credence Auditors & Advisors has dedicated professionals who specialize in the unique and complex compliance needs of large private and publicly-traded clients.

Construction Audit Services

 

Construction projects are generally among the largest, most complex financial expenditures undertaken by an organization. For this reason, it’s important that your organization have adequate project management and appropriate internal controls designed for your specific type of construction agreement in place during the entire project life cycle. Strong internal controls are necessary to:

 

  • Ensure procedures are in place to identify and manage risks
  • Prevent overpayments and protect against irregularities
  • Establish supporting financial reporting processes
  • Avoid unnecessary litigation

 

Credence Auditors & Advisors helps you strengthen the financial and operational controls over the construction process, ensuring compliance with the contract and adherence to industry standards and best practices. Our experienced teams provide assurance that contractual terms are being adhered to by validating critical contractor compliance and costs. In our experience, potential identified overcharges are typically 5 to 10 times greater than the fee for our services.

 

Our specialized team of construction professionals will also provide you with “root cause analysis” and process improvement recommendations, resulting in a more efficient and effective construction program.

Monthly financial statements

 

Financial statements present your balance sheet and income and cash-flow statements giving you a snapshot of your company’s financial position during a specific time period. Your CAA staff will walk you through the information on your financial statement so you understand what it means and how you can use it.

 

Financial statements offer many tools to help you make informed decisions for your business:

 

  • General ledger reports give you the details you’re looking for on all of the accounts for the month including your company’s assets, liabilities, owner’s equity and revenue and expenses.
  • Comparative financial statements give you the ability to compare where you are this year compared to last year at this time.
  • Trend reports show you how you have been performing for the last 12 months.
  • Ratio analysis translates your company’s numbers into ratios that can be compared to both last year’s ratios and industry averages. This helps you more thoroughly understand which areas of your financial situation are on target and which areas need more attention.
  • Break-even analysis shows how much of your revenue goes to cover fixed costs and how much is left for variable costs. It also tells you how much of your product/service you need to sell in order to break-even.

Business owners turn to us to outsource their accounting. Either the current staff is overworked or the business owner is looking to reallocate resources. But no matter the reason, outsourcing your accounting duties to us will make your job easier:
