Re: Audit Engagement
Dear Mr. Jackson,
This letter confirms our understanding of the previously discussed
arrangements for our audit of the financial statements of Jackson
Enterprises, for the year ending 2011.
We will audit the Companys balance sheet as of 12/31/2011, along with the
related statements of Income, retained earnings, and cash flows for all of
2011. Based on this audit we will provide our professional opinion. The
financial statements are the responsibility of Jackson Enterprises
management team. Our responsibility as your auditor is to express an
opinion on the financial statements based on our audit.
We will conduct our audit process in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards. These standards require that we conduct the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance if the financial statements are free of false and
misleading statements. An audit of this nature will also assess the
accounting principles that your company uses along with estimates that are
made by management. Our audit will provide the basis for our opinion.
The procedures that we use will include tests of documentary evidence that
supports the transactions recorded in your companys accounts along with
direct confirmation of all receivables and liabilities through correspondence
with randomly selected customers, creditors and banks.

However, we will inform you of any material errors or illegal acts that come
to our attention through the audit process.
If you are planning on publishing or reproducing the financial statements and

proofs for our review and approval before printing commences.
As part of our audit engagement for the year ending 2011, a review will be
conducted of your companys federal and state income tax returns for
Jackson Enterprises.
We will be available throughout the year for answering questions regarding
the tax effects of any proposed transactions or alterations to current
business policies.
The fees we will be charging will be billed to you as work progresses and are
based on the amount of time that is required to complete deliverables plus
any out of pocket expenses. Invoices will be due immediately upon receipt. If
there appears to be an error in our estimated total cost you will be notified
immediately.
If this letter is a correct representation of your understanding, please sign
the enclosed copy and return it to us promptly.
We appreciate the opportunity to conduct your audit and serve you and look
