Ericksen Krentel

For over 50 years, Ericksen Krentel & LaPorte has been providing companies with audit, review and compilation services throughout the Greater New Orleans area. Our experienced business advisors provide timely, accurate and comprehensive audit and accounting services for private businesses and governmental agencies of all sizes. Our goal is to truly understand your business before we begin the audit process. We believe that a successful audit requires ongoing communication with our clients. Business challenges today are more complex than ever before. Shifting tides of government regulations, emerging industries, and leapfrog technologies mean your business needs informed, responsive professional service advisors. Our audit and accounting professionals examine and attest to the financial performance of businesses. Beyond audit and review services, our clients may look to us for other services, such as assistance in merger due diligence, reviews of internal controls or performance reporting. As an integral part of our services provided to our audit clients, Ericksen, Krentel & LaPorte performs an internal controls review. Our evaluation of internal controls is designed to identify the areas of greatest risk - where controls are weak or missing altogether. We develop our plan to address these areas and reduce time spent in other non-critical areas. We utilize analytical procedures to determine whether a business's trends are in line, not only with internal expectations, but with comparable organizations as well. Thus, issues can be addressed before they become costly problems. Ericksen, Krentel & LaPorte believes strongly in the importance of structured systems and works with our clients in developing, implementing and integrating such systems. We would be available to assist in formulating or refining projections and implementing meaningful budgetary controls that can be used as operational tools.
