Internal Audit
Internal audit services can be used throughout a company’s operations. The primary purpose of internal audit services is to help identify and assess operational, financial and compliance risks that a company faces, and then identify and assess the internal controls in place to mitigate those risks. Internal audit services involve both process and system reviews.
Lease Accounting Services
The new lease accounting guidance presents an opportunity to proactively implement new processes and policies while simultaneously taking inventory of your company’s lease populations, in order to assess the impact on future financial reporting.
Services include data extraction, process mapping, internal controls, change management, software advisory, software readiness, financial impact modeling, and impact analysis on debt covenant calculations.
Service Organization Control (SOC Reports)
Service organizations that provide key third-party outsourcing services often need to be accountable to the clients they serve. These organizations include claims processors, application service providers, benefits administrators, payroll companies, data centers, and many others. System and Organization Control Reports (SOC 1, SOC 2, SOC 3 reports) provide three new reporting vehicles developed for service organizations to respond to demands for uniform reporting and review—expanding service organizations’ ability to report on financial controls, non-financial controls and, with SOC 3, become certified trusted system service organizations.
Transaction Advisory Services (Due Diligence)
Our Integrated TAS team has decades of experience assisting corporate and private equity clients in financial, tax, structuring, reimbursement, billing and coding, information technology, and human resource/ benefit due diligence on both the buy and sell sides of M&A transactions. Our approach is flexible and tailored to each client’s specific needs – creating a long-term, professional partnership that usually lasts well after the deal closes.

Chattanooga is a great place to live and play.
Chattanooga is located in East Tennessee, along the Tennessee River bordering Georgia. Chattanooga blends the “Big City” amenities with the “Small Town” ease of living with friendly residents, moderate housing costs and easy commuting with cultural and recreation opportunities that rival those in a large metropolitan area. When not in the office LBMC employees soak in some Chattanooga’s impressive nature landscapes including breathtaking mountain vistas.
