The firm now has seven partners: Newell K. Johnson, Robert K. Bowen, Douglas D. Hawkes, Ross L. Youngberg, Preston M. Eichers, Mark V. Anderson and Paul O. Skeen. The founding partners have all retired from ownership and the firm is now successfully in its second generation. We believe this shows a sense of stability and reliability to our present and prospective clients. All CPA's at HB&M are members of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) and the Utah Association of Certified Public Accountants (UACPA). The firm is registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB). Hansen, Barnett & Maxwell is a member of the Center for Public Company Audit Firms, Private Companies Practice section, Employee Benefit Plan Audit Quality Center, Governmental Audit Quality Center and the Tax Division of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), the Utah Hospital Association, HealthCare Financial Management Association (HFMA), Western States Pension Benefit Association and the Salt Lake Estate Planning Council. Hansen, Barnett & Maxwell is licensed to practice in Utah, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Idaho, Maryland, Nevada, Oklahoma, Texas and Wyoming. Our practice is conducted from our office in Salt
Lake City, Utah, and is considered to be a general public accounting
practice. We have divided our firm into five departments: Our firm provides a full range of audit/assurance, accounting, tax and consulting services, consistent with ethical and professional standards and regulatory requirements in the United States and with the limitations imposed by our Firm's membership in the AICPA Division for CPA firms. Hansen, Barnett & Maxwell is very quality conscious, maintaining a high level of quality control throughout the firm. As a member of both the Center for Public Companies Audit Firms and the Private Companies Practice Section of the AICPA, our firm is subject to the profession's program of self-regulation through peer review. Our accounting and auditing/assurance practice has been subjected to a Peer Review by other CPA Firms on eight occasions. These Peer Reviews are conducted once every three years, with Hansen, Barnett & Maxwell doing its own in-house inspections/review in the interim two years. Hansen, Barnett & Maxwell has received an unqualified opinion (a report with no qualifications) as a result of each of those eight Peer Reviews. Our latest peer review was completed in December 2005. We believe this helps to create an environment of quality and professionalism to ensure you receive the best service possible. Many of our clients are serviced by our Client Accounting Department and Consulting Services departments. We have been involved in numerous systems design and installation of computerized accounting systems. Additionally, we provide in-house client accounting services for many of our clients, who have chosen not to maintain their own accounting systems or need help on a monthly or quarterly basis to reconcile their general ledger and make appropriate adjustments. The following graph will give you a better idea of the make up of the professional services provided by our firm throughout the past fiscal year endings April 30, 2005.
