How Citrin Cooperman Can Help

Our partners and staff are licensed Certified Public Accountants with extensive hedge fund audit experience, allowing us to conduct efficient and independent audits. This provides us with a competitive advantage and allows us to stay on top of the constant changes in the regulatory environment for hedge funds and other regulated entities.

As the independent auditors of hedge funds, our commitment is to generate timely and cost-efficient audit reports and to provide management with the opportunity to react to financial information and recommendations by us during our audit. We provide year-end audit of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). We also serve registered investment advisers by performing the necessary examinations that enable compliance with the new custody rules.

Our financial services group serves domestic and offshore hedge funds, fund-of-funds, private equity funds, and commodity pools. Our diverse client base includes both start-ups and large institutional funds.
