Dohman, Richard V. Akerlund, and Robert M. Eddy.   Dohman, Akerlund and Eddy left a national firm to begin this accounting firm to serve the needs of their clients dispersed throughout the state.  In 1999, the firm became a Limited Liability Company and four new members were added to the practice; Kurt J. Moural, Thomas L. Stevenson, Daniel E. Vinkenberg and Sonja A. Cattau.  Akerlund and Eddy remain available for consulting and supportive roles.   We have continuously added to our professional and support staff. Including members, we currently have seventeen accountants and two administrative professionals.  Firm growth, which has been derived entirely from internal expansion, has occurred because each of our members share common goals regarding the quality of service to be provided to clients, the development of personnel, and technical competence which firm members have achieved over a period of many years of professional service. Unlike the Others While other accounting firms may be larger in terms of number of employees and annual billings, it is important to keep in mind that accounting services are delivered not by the firm, but by key individuals with support from the firm.  Therefore, our approach to engagements is to include direct job participation by management with necessary staff participation in the total hours necessary to complete work.  Our clients have assurance an experienced individual is available to handle their requests. High management participation and continuity of personnel results in our being more familiar with the operations of each of our clients, and we are therefore in a better position to provide competent levels of service.  Professional Membership Our firm, in keeping with the primary goal of providing the highest quality of professional service, is a member of the Private Companies Practice Section of the AICPA Division of CPA Firms.  The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) created this voluntary organization for CPA firms, which provides a level of self-regulatory controls within the accounting profession.  Membership signifies a firm is committed to maintaining a high level of competence among it’s professional personnel, substantial quality controls over it’s auditing and accounting practice, extensive training and communications programs, and full participation in a peer review program.  Peer reviews are conducted at least every three years and include a comprehensive review of a firm’s quality control system, including a review of selected engagement working paper files, with emphasis on the firm’s policies and procedures.  DA&E has undergone peer reviews and received unmodified reports signifying our firm operates in compliance with the standards of quality required for Division firms.  We have always been committed to the highest standards of professional quality, including complying with each of the requirements now mandated by peer review.    There are four distinctions that we feel make DA&E the right choice for your auditing and consulting needs.  The four distinctions are: Our commitment to specialized industries An experienced engagement team The continuity of the engagement team Strong endorsements our clients have given us.
