Ethics Statement
We built our reputation by maintaining the highest level of ethics and integrity.
The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act is a federal law that requires many of the practices that have been the foundation of our work as a CPA and business-consulting firm for the past 30 years.
The law imposes three requirements that we are committed to uphold:
- We are prohibited from disclosing non-public information about you without your permission. This has always been our policy and always will be our policy. Client confidentiality is our most sacred trust.
- We must provide you our financial disclosure policy; which is:
- Everything you tell us or send us will be kept in the strictest confidence. Only those members of our firm who need to know will know.
- Nothing you tell us or send us will ever be disclosed without your permission.
- Any violation by any member of our firm is grounds for immediate termination of employment.
- We may not get non-public information about you under false premises. This has always been our policy and always will be our policy.
Independence, integrity and objectivity are the ethical guideposts by which professionalism is measured in our business.
Independence is an impartiality that recognizes an obligation for fairness.
Integrity pertains to being honest and candid, and requires that service and public trust not be subordinated to personal gain.
Objectivity is a state of mind that imposes an obligation to be impartial, intellectually honest and free from conflicts of interest.
At Davis, Monk & Company, "professionalism" means the commitment to withstand all pressures, competitive and otherwise, to compromise our principles, standards and quality.
As a matter of policy, DMC will only undertake engagements we believe we can perform with competence; that are useful to our clients; that do not impair our independence in fact or appearance; and that attract the top-notch professionals we need to serve the community with distinction.
The adequacy of Davis, Monk & Company's quality control system for accounting and auditing is examined every three years through a peer review conducted by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). In our most recent peer review, AICPA once again gave our accounting and auditing practice systems their highest rating: unqualified endorsement.
