Common Questions

What Florida financial-services licensees ask about audits.

What audit does a Chapter 560 money-services business need?

Florida Chapter 560 licensees must file GAAP-audited financial statements with the Office of Financial Regulation within 120 days of fiscal year-end, alongside quarterly reporting obligations and the OFR examination cycle. Planning the engagement around that 120-day window is essential.

How do Chapter 494 mortgage filings affect my reporting?

Chapter 494 mortgage licensees face their own financial reporting and net-worth requirements with the OFR. The right level of CPA engagement depends on the license type and the specific filing the regulator requires.

Does the audit cover AML and BSA compliance?

A financial statement audit is not a substitute for a BSA/AML examination, but the engagement considers how AML program controls intersect with financial reporting and the exposure the examination cycle creates. Coordinating the two timelines avoids surprises.
