We offer communication, specialization, and a breadth, depth, and diversity of experience that

local CPA firm to our clients' available resources. Our partners actively participate in the services
we provide. That way, our clients can count on receiving their information promptly; and they can
count on receiving current and practical responses to their questions. Our list of clients presently
includes many prominent enterprises and nonprofit organizations in Hawaii, including their
employee benefit plans.
Your decision to select CW Associates, CPAs, helps to balance the reasonable fees and attentive
service you desire with the quality service and professional experience you need. The members
of our firm have been serving a variety of enterprises and their owners and nonprofit
organizations throughout Hawaii and in the Pacific Islands for over 30 years, and desire to be a
significant professional resource for you and your management team. We seek frequent contact
to encourage questions from our clients so we can resolve financial reporting and tax issues as
they arise during the year, rather than waiting until after the end of the year. You have our

Accounting and Auditing
CW Associates, CPAs, provides accounting, auditing, and other assurance services to for-profit
businesses and nonprofit entities. The firm presently includes nearly 20 professional staff and
other professional support dedicated to providing accounting, auditing, and other assurance
services. Our service approach is designed to assure you that:
- We are a readily-available resource throughout the year.

We perform our accounting and auditing engagements on laptop computers using specialized
computer software. We also subscribe to and use numerous publications of the AICPA, CCH, and
the Practitioners Publishing Corporation (including the electronic versions, which are available to
us at all times on our laptop computers). These publications include programs and checklists
designed specifically for use by practicing certified public accountants on accounting and auditing
engagements in general and specialized industries. Our practice is to use these programs and

2. checklists on each of our engagements, and to make them part of the documentation that
supports our work. Because these publications are updated regularly and used by thousands of
practicing certified public accountants across the country, they assure us that we are providing
our clients with the best and most up-to-date professional care and attention.
