When you hire the Pine Hill Group, you can count on receiving the transparency in accounting and financial reporting that the SEC considers mandatory. Public reporting companies are required to file financial reports that detail material changes to the business based on specific time periods. This can mean a look at your books from top to bottom. Fortunately, we offer a high degree of experience in facilitating the process.

It’s not just that the rules of accounting have changed. It’s that the business world has become more complex, and in turn this has thrust compliance and ethical issues into the spotlight. Reports must be prepared following GAAP.

The key to knowing what is required for compliance is often a matter of research – of finding analogous transactions.  More often than not, exact parallels aren’t readily available and therefore judgment skills are critical.  

The SEC is a powerful federal entity set up to monitor the finances of all publicly traded companies, with the goal of protecting investors. Being in compliance with SEC regulations is both critical and topical, because the information they require can change. SEC rules govern the content, form and timing of submissions.  The stringency often goes beyond GAAP standards.
