Financial Statement Audit

When you engage a Plante Moran team for a bank financial statement audit, you can expect more than compliance because we know the banking industry and understand the risks and opportunities you face. Therefore, you can depend on us to provide meaningful recommendations for efficiency and control improvements as part of our financial statement audit reports.

Internal Audit

Our general approach will be to help you develop an internal audit process that manages your risk while making sure that your processes and procedures comply with regulatory demands, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

Tax Consulting

You will appreciate our tax consulting services and working with our team of tax consultants who fully understand the tax laws and regulations and how they affect banks.

Information Security Services

Technology has been a boon for financial institutions, but it comes with challenges. One of those challenges is mitigating the risk of fraud and protecting the financial assets of customers in the custody of the bank.

Loan Review

Our loan review audit process begins by evaluating your organization’s lending policies, procedures, and quality control activities.

Regulatory Compliance

You can depend on our regulatory compliance experts to help you customize and streamline your risk management efforts to fit your bank’s unique situation.

Operations Improvement

Plante Moran operations improvement consultants can survey opinions and mine data, then help develop and implement a plan that will help you win market share, satisfy employees, and improve your profits.

Trust Audit Services

As part of the required annual trust audit, we can work with your audit committee to make sure you have the documentation you need to prove you have met your fiduciary responsibilities.

Commercial Real Estate Advisors

Projects for financial institutions carry a unique and complicated set of objectives and challenges. Whether it’s a corporate headquarters or a branch location, our real estate advisors have the comprehensive expertise necessary to help you manage the entire project.

Human Resource Effectiveness

Bank patrons constantly demand more and better services. How well you respond to the demands depends on having the right employees in the right positions.

“When we have an issue that SOX won't allow our external auditors to address, we turn to Plante & Moran. They’ve provided us a wealth of information relative to accounting matters, internal audit, regulatory compliance, loan review, and IT issues. They combine their technical expertise and experience in the banking industry to help us meet many of the challenges in today’s tough economic environment. It seems they are as focused on our bottom line as we are.”
