As part of FirstService Corporation, a publicly held company (NASDAQ: FSRV; TSX: FSV), we are held to the highest standards of transparency, security and accountability, and comply with Sarbanes-Oxley requirements. We are audited regularly and have robust internal controls with mandated segregation of duties. Associates with access to the association's bank reconciliation are in a different department and have different access rights from the associates who are responsible for transaction processing of journal entries.
Timely and Accurate Financial Reporting
To keep your Board updated and on budget, we report all fiscal activities accurately and on time. Our teams produce a comprehensive monthly financial status report, balance sheet and income and expense statements. In addition, they manage accounts payable and receivable, and expertly handle all other financial issues as required.
Budget Preparation
To help ensure that maintenance fees are both fairly assessed and adequate to cover needed community improvements, repairs and beautification, our financial team prepares draft budgets for Board review, including anticipated increases, actual expenses incurred over the past year and historical expense data.
Annual Audit & Tax Preparation
You can always expect to receive accurately prepared documents in time for your annual third-party CPA audits and tax preparation. And when your homeowners' association hires outside CPAs and attorneys, we provide them with access to our FirstService Residential Connect software platform so they can review needed files and documents – an effective way to reduce preparation costs for your association.
