Casinos

Our team of accounting professionals has skills and knowledge specific to casinos and the gaming industry. We serve our clients with comprehensive services as outlined below:

Outsourced Internal Audit

Our extensive experience in the gaming industry, including tribal gaming operations, as well as our background in providing client audit services, positions our firm to deliver efficient and effective analyses of the functionality of the all-important control environment within a gaming operation. We have developed an understanding of the design and implementation of a sound internal control structure, compliant with applicable regulatory requirements, based on assistance provided to various entities in their start-up phase where we have assisted with the system submission to the regulatory authority. This understanding has been further developed during the assessment of the effectiveness of those systems gathered during internal audits of gaming operations.

Income Tax Provision Calculations

We have assisted the accounting department in their preparation for the annual financial statement audit performed by external auditors. We have found this element of the year-end audit to be one which the in-house accounting department may not possess the requisite experience and understanding necessary to prepare the income tax provision. Our services augment the accounting department, eliminating the need to bring on additional staff, as well as addressing the need to address the conflict of interest concerns as regulated by Sarbanes Oxley which preclude external auditors from preparing the income tax provision analysis.

Consulting and Agreed-upon Procedures

Our firm’s breadth and depth of business experience provide us with the ability and tools to approach your gaming operation with the trained eye of an objective observer. Whether these services include revenue enhancement/expense reduction analytics, cash flow analyses, or due diligence engagements, our passionate and professional approach to your business concerns lead us to seek solutions that will address your operating issues.
