Alliances
At AgeeFisherBarrett, LLC, we have developed relationships with
a number of important associations and organizations to help in
the development and delivery of our services. Our alliances include:
AICPA
AgeeFisherBarrett is proud to be a member of the
AICPA
To help CPAs meet the challenges of performing quality audits in
this unique and complex area, the AICPA has established the Employee
Benefit Plan Audit Quality Center, a firm-based voluntary membership
center for firms that audit employee benefit plans. Employee benefit
plan audits include pension, health and welfare, and 401(k) plans
subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) under
the regulatory authority of the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL).

PCAOB
 The
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB)
was created by the Sarbanes-Oxley act of 2002, to oversee the auditors
of public companies in order to protect the interests of investors
and further the public interest in the preparation of informative,
fair, and independent audit reports.
This new body is required by Federal law to set the standards that
guide the audits of publicly traded companies and to establish and
implement the funding structure that supports its activities.
In addition, a publicly traded Company’s outside auditors
can no longer perform certain services for them.
These services include, but not limited to:
AgeeFisherBarrett, LLC is a registered accounting firm with the
Public
Company Oversight Accounting Board and can perform
audits and opinions on the financial statement of publicly traded
companies as well as other services on publicly traded companies
where we are not the outside auditors.

ISACA
ISACA got its start in 1967, when a small group of individuals
with similar jobs—auditing controls in the computer systems
that were becoming increasingly critical to the operations of their
organizations—sat down to discuss the need for a centralized
source of information and guidance in the field. In 1969, the group
formalized, incorporating as the EDP Auditors Association. In 1976
the association formed an education foundation to undertake large-scale
research efforts to expand the knowledge and value of the IT governance
and control field.
 Today,
ISACA’s membership—more than 86,000 strong worldwide—is
characterized by its diversity. Members live and work in more than
160 countries and cover a variety of professional IT-related positions—to
name just a few, IS auditor, consultant, educator, IS security professional,
regulator, chief information officer and internal auditor. Some
are new to the field, others are at middle management levels and
still others are in the most senior ranks. They work in nearly all
industry categories, including financial and banking, public accounting,
government and the public sector, utilities and manufacturing. This
diversity enables members to learn from each other, and exchange
widely divergent viewpoints on a variety of professional topics.
It has long been considered one of ISACA’s strengths. Previously
known as the Information Systems Audit and Control Association,
ISACA now goes by its acronym only, to reflect the broad range of
IT governance professionals it serves.
